This paper proposes an adaptive MOOC (aMOOC) platform and campus. The platform allows MOOCs to have flexible schedules, interconnection through shared resources and activities, and recognition of skills across courses. It describes six adaptive "pills" including self-assessment, adaptive pacing, personalized learning paths, collaborative resources, and progress monitoring. The paper also presents results of an aMOOC campus pilot with 500 participants. Surveys found motivation was lifelong learning and professional development, and participants viewed adaptivity positively. The paper concludes the model offers new flexible options for MOOCs and users accepted the adaptive approach.

Bullying is a serious problem among American youth, with statistics showing that it is the third leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. Many students avoid school due to bullying, while others attend in a state of anxiety or depression. Reports indicate that the majority of American youth witness bullying daily, and over a third have engaged in bullying behavior themselves, defined as repeated teasing, threats, hitting or exclusion. A study in Massachusetts found that half of all middle school students had been bullied in the past year.

The document is a checklist for evaluating library information literacy skills development assignments. It is divided into three sections that assess requirements, research guidance, and support provided in assignment handouts. Each section lists criteria and asks evaluators to rate on a scale of 1 to 3 how well the assignment handout meets each criteria, with 1 being not well and 3 being very well. The criteria cover things like defining assignment parameters, required sources, citation style, grading rubric, research topic selection guidance, source evaluation, plagiarism prevention, and listing library, IT, and writing support resources.
Selecting and Evaluating Databases Sample ResponsesJulie Anne Kent

This document provides a summary of search results from four different databases using the search terms "alternative fuels AND sustainability AND factors". For each database, it lists the total number of results, describes and cites the 18th/23rd item from Academic Search Complete/ABI/Inform, the 32nd item from PsycARTICLES, and the 12th item from Canadian Newsstand. It evaluates whether each database and item is appropriate for the topic.
This document provides instructions for evaluating the credibility of sources found in books. It lists 7 questions to consider when assessing a book's authority, affiliation, currency, audience, purpose, sources, and overall usefulness. The questions address the author's expertise, the publisher's bias, date of publication, intended reader, goal, citations, and whether the book remains relevant after closer inspection. Answering these questions allows one to perform a more thorough evaluation of a book source.
This lesson plan outlines an information literacy session for marketing students that will teach them skills for research, avoiding plagiarism, and using appropriate resources. The session includes an introduction and agenda, demonstrations of finding government documents and using the library databases and research guides, an in-class activity where students search for resources in groups, presentations by the groups to their peers, and a summary and discussion of attribution. The overall goals are for students to learn how to find relevant information for their assignments, maintain academic integrity, and understand the value of various information sources and formats.

Twitter defined: a 140-character micro blog considered one of several Web 2.0 social networking tools, connecting people and information in real time. In an education or training context, Twitter is a powerful way for educators / instructors / trainers / researchers to publicize research, communicate with students, connect with broader learning or scholarly community, or alert followers to resources and events.
Twitter: Professional Development and Instruction Julie Anne Kent
油
Presentation to faculty on the following points: social networking tools that allows people to share information
a real-time feed to like-minded individuals
in an education or training context could represent a powerful way for educators to publicize research, communicate with their students, be connected with a wider learning or scholarly community, or signpost followers to interesting resources, and news stories.
Not all sources on the Web are equally valuable or reliable. Individual sites are not screened or standardized in any way to determine if the information they provide is accurate or useful. Critically evaluating the information you find is central to successful academic research. Determining the credibility of information found on the Web is not always easy - think of the following criteria during evaluation. The World Wide Web offers a great wealth of information, as well as the opportunity for people to express themselves and exchange ideas. This makes it a potentially great place to accomplish research on many topics. But putting documents or pages on the Web is easy, cheap or free, unregulated and unmonitored. If you are using a Web-based source for a research paper, you will need to develop skills to evaluate the credibility and appropriateness of what you find. The following checklist presents questions to ask to help determine whether a Web page is a suitable resource for a research paper, or not. Don't expect to be able to answer all the questions, all the time, for all Web sites you look at. Rather, try to use the questions as a tool to help you look at Web pages critically.
Trends in Teaching and Learning: Enhancing Academic Library ServicesJulie Anne Kent
油
Collaboration, Technologies, and Interactive instruction are foundational trends in the context of university teaching and learning. Each have functioned in isolation, often independently of another, as three separate silos.
1) Instructors collaborated to create curriculum.
2) Technologies are now ubiquitous with classroom instruction yet not always used to their maximum potentials
3) Instruction and learning are blended incorporating face-to-face class time with the expectation of participation in an online environment such as Moodle and Blackboard.
4) I believe that blended learning is heavily influenced by social / web 2.0 technologies engaging both instructors and students in new ways not only to the material covered but in the process of discovery which might be referred to as interactive engagement and include gaming. I believe blended learning is going to be the most changed trend in coming years.
The document discusses several challenges and opportunities related to online library access. It notes that instructors and students do not always understand how to access on-campus and off-campus resources. It also states that instructor use of instructional technologies is not keeping pace with student demand and that some library search tools could be more user-friendly. The document focuses on increasing online access to library content, resources, and services through areas like reference support, instruction, website design, and the convergence of technologies.
Interview questions reference liaison academicJulie Anne Kent
油
This document lists 31 sample interview questions for academic library positions. The questions cover a range of topics including demonstrating initiative, preparing for interviews, managing projects and procedures, staying current in the field, balancing competing needs, dealing with workplace issues, teaching experience, challenges of the position, required skills, project management, relevant qualifications, trends in academic libraries, goal setting, meeting research needs with limited budgets, research interests, contributions to the field, blended and reference roles, reasons for interest in the position, strengths and weaknesses, managing projects, complaints, handling stress, recent risks taken, needed support, teamwork experience, resolving conflicts, handling complaints, and involvement in professional organizations.
Designing one-time short library / information literacy instruction is challenging. This example present a structure and resources used to instruct a first year university class in visual community.
Prezi and PowerPoint both allow users to create presentations, but have key differences. Prezi uses a single dashboard interface that is easier to use and has a shallow learning curve. It allows for zooming between ideas and nonlinear presentations. However, inserting media can be problematic and it lacks spellchecking. PowerPoint has a steeper learning curve due to its multiple tabs and ribbons but allows for linear presentations and easy insertion of media. Both have advantages, as Prezi produces clean presentations while PowerPoint provides more options for media, saving, and printing.
