Informed Learning Design - New Paper Out!

Excited to share our new "informed learning design" article, which is now available as a pre-publication in Higher Education Research & Development (HERD). Informed learning design provides a model for creating learning activities in which students learn about using information in the context of learning in the classroom. I was so honored to have been able to collaborate with Christine Bruce, Mandy Lupton, and Ming Fai Pang on this project.

NEW BOOK: IMPACT Learning: Librarians at the Forefront of Change in Higher Education

My new book, IMPACT Learning: Librarians at the Forefront of Change in Higher Education, describes how academic libraries can enable the success of higher education students by creating or partnering with teaching and learning initiatives that support meaningful learning through engagement with information. Since the 1970s, the academic library community has been advocating and developing programming for information literacy. This book discusses existing models, extracting lessons from Purdue University Libraries’ partnership with other units to create a campus-wide course development program, Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT), which provides academic libraries with tools and strategies for working with faculty and departments to integrate information literacy into disciplinary courses.
