Embedding Instruction: A Conversation on Strategies
Presenter:
Iris Finkel,
Reference and Instruction Librarian/Visiting Lecturer
Hunter College Libraries
Attendees:
- Elisabeth Oliu (Middlesex County College Library)
- Peter Hare (Bank Street College of Ed.)
- Trevar Riley-Reid (City College)
- Anne Leonard (NYC College of Technology)
- Alexandra Rojas (LaGuardia CC)
Experiences:
- Hunter: Iris presented her experience in Modernism and the Image
- What worked?
- Being proactive by following student blog posts and commenting when appropriate
- Training on finding images from open access sources
- Research guidance
- What didn’t?
- Not enough in-class instruction time for librarian
- What worked?
- Middlesex:
- Too difficult to fully embed; not enough librarians — too many teaching sessions
- Course management system: Campus Cruiser
- Attempted to embed but technology glitch – collaboration status in course not working so scratched embedded model
- Uses Remind to contact students
- Laguardia:
- Has brown bag lunches for library faculty to review different databases(Alexandra suggested that Jeff use CC license on website)
Concerns:
- Time – suggest attend 1x a month to establish relationship with students
- Scale – how to scale with limited amount of librarians
Ideas:
- Suggest embedding in class 1x a month vs. one shot
- Use different platforms for communicating with students
- Example: City Tech Open Labs
- Laguardia Center for Teaching and Learning – Inquiry assignments; information literacy sessions for faculty; application to participate
