I have a log in for Google+ (if I can remember it!  Not used it in some time…), but happy to meet wherever works!

I’ve written about it here: http://octelmooc.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/introdution-and-the-big-question/

But in short, how can I create engaging info lit teaching materials and self-led resources for large lecture-sized groups?  We’ve had to cut the hands-on training dramatically, and now need to provide lecture based training.

Hello everyone

I’ve not quite got started on the induction yet, but I’m making sure I add my name to this info lit group before I forget, if you’ll have me!  I’m a subject librarian for health at the University of Huddersfield (along with Kirsty Bower who is also enrolled on this course, I believe!), primarily looking after nursing students.  We’ve had big changes here made to the way teaching is delivered, so instead of running regular hands on training to specific areas of health practice, we now provide the same lecture twice in the first year to large groups of nurses, ODP, physio, midwifery etc (150-250 students per lecture).  We need to provide a lot of online materials now to try and compensation for the lack of hands on training, so hopefully this course will contribute to that.

I’ve studied distance learning (for my Masters) before so have been enrolled on online courses via VLEs, but not to this extent!  Is a little overwhelming so far, but good to see that information literacy teaching has representation on here 🙂
