From Learning Outcomes to Lesson Plans: Creating Meaningful Classroom Experiences
Monday, April 15, 2013 from 10:30 a.m. – noon
Foster Auditorium and via Media Site Live (live.libraries.psu.edu)

In this forensic we will discuss best practices and principles for creating learning outcomes for information literacy teaching tailored to the needs of a specific class, whether it be a first level or upper division disciplinary class. This will lead to a discussion on turning these learning outcomes into a lesson plan and design for teaching the session. Resources for developing learning outcomes and creating lesson plans will be shared for use during the workshop and for future reference. All attendees (whether in-person or on Mediasite) should come with a class in mind for which they wish to plan (or re-plan). Librarians will leave the forensic with early drafts of both their learning outcomes and their lesson plan for a class of their choosing.

Presenters: Anne Behler, Nancy Dewald, Loanne Snavely
