Flexible Online Instruction Using Modular Learning Design Workshop - ALA Publishing
by Amanda Nichols Hess 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hi michlib colleagues, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be teaching a workshop on modular learning design for libraries this spring. In this two-part workshop, I’ll introduce the concept of modular learning, an approach to developing intentional, strategic online learning objects, and engages participants in applying these concepts in their own work. In the first session, we’ll address how modular design fits into information literacy and instructional design, and work together to identify what partnerships, stakeholder relationships, and existing content you can leverage in a modular design process. In the second session, we’ll identify how you can incorporate evaluation, assessment, accessibility, and usability into your projects, and how you can scale, transform, and plan for the future of your resources. This workshop takes place on Wednesdays, April 28 and May 5. You can register at the ALA Store <https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/flexible-online-instruction-using-modu…> (direct link: https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/flexible-online-instruction-using-modu…) Bulk and institutional pricing is available. If you’ve got any questions, you can contact me or the folks at ALA Publishing at elsmarketing(a)ala.org. Hope to see you there!

Summer reading 2024 & 2025...
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

CSLP is seeking slogan input for the Adventure theme in 2024, and theme suggestions for 2025! Please read the details & submit your suggestions to me: https://forms.gle/PprHHuD4oW5j6K5HA. Due: end of day, April 9th. Now, I know what you're thinking... "Cathy, you have got to be kidding me! We haven't even started SRP 2021!?!?" Yes, but, one of the fun parts of my job is representing you all to CSLP, but they do have to plan years in advance for each year's artist (publication schedules), manual creation, incentives, etc. They are a mostly volunteer organization that takes membership input very seriously. So, take a few minutes to brainstorm some suggestions and submit them<https://forms.gle/PprHHuD4oW5j6K5HA> to me by end of day, Friday, April 9th. I'll compile your wishes and take the top ones to CSLP for consideration. This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
