The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

FREE! LILi Show & Tell - Two-Shots Instead of One: Using the Flipped Classroom to Teach Information Literacy

    The session:
     
    Two-Shots Instead of One: Using the Flipped Classroom to Teach Information Literacy
    Michelle Sanchez (she/her)
    Reference Librarian at Chaffey College

    While college faculty reach out to their liaison librarians with requests to teach information literacy to their classes, librarians still face the challenge of presenting a large amount of content within a one-shot session of at most fifty minutes. As a result, students have difficulty absorbing the information and recalling what the librarian presented to them during the in-class session. Therefore, it is important that cognitive offload is done in order to help students retain the information being taught.

    Research on the flipped classroom model over the past five years has shown to be promising when it comes to engaging college students and getting them to remember such topics as developing search strategies, choosing appropriate databases, and how to find peer-reviewed articles. Having students watch a pre-made interactive tutorial that shows how to use specific research skills prepares them in advance for the hands-on practice that takes place during the librarian's scheduled in-person visit.

    In my proposed presentation, I will discuss my experience utilizing the flipped classroom model with a sociology research methods course. I will address the collaboration process with the requesting instructor, the creation of the interactive tutorial using PlayPosit, and student engagement with the tutorial and during the in-person follow-up class.
