Hi All
I hope I’m not too late to join this group, as I’ve taken it over the recommended numbers! Anyway, along with Bryony, I am a Subject Librarian (Applied Sciences and Business) at the University of Huddersfield in the UK.
The information literacy teaching I am involved in invariably takes the form of one-off sessions which are either lecture-based or (ideally!) in the classroom. My ‘big question’ relates to how to use TEL to engage students who I’m unlikely to see more than once a year (http://lisaoctel.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/my-big-question/).
I’ve experimented with online teaching materials in the past, taking joint responsibility for the development of an induction website which incorporated screencasts, Informs tutorials, podcasts etc. However, I seem to have lost my enthusiasm lately- not knowing what the most appropriate tools are, fearing duplication of effort across the service, and coping with updating resources have all been contributory factors. I’m looking to regain my enthusiasm, and hopefully get up to speed for the most appropriate tools out there for me!
