This was my frst chance to see clickers in action within a classroom activity as they were utilized throughout the session! It was very cool to see live polling and results generated by the audience.
- Increasing emphasis on accountability and learning outcomes
- Increasing calls for assessment
- Lack of assessment tools that meet needs
- What is that we want to do in terms of assessment and how can we collaborate as a group on this topic
- Create shared vision of IL
- Create an assessment tool
- Focus on lower level undergraduate students
- How we can benefit from this collaboration?
- Shared vision through the dissection of the ACRL standards
- Learn from each other, value differing perspectives
- How can our institutions benefit from this collaboration?
- Shared solution to the problem of assessment
- Shared implementation costs - created a low cost tool, think tank between 4 different institutions
- Has already produced results and individual results are comparable to these other institutions
• 2 demographic questions
• 17 multi-choice summary questions
• 2 open-ended feedback questions
• Citation
• Evaluation (key area of focus)
• Access
• Need to time to process info - so much information to take in one session, yet I know where to go for help
Future Directions:
• Validate survey questions
• Expand question bank
• Develop a process for rolling the assessment tool out to other libraries
• Need to focus on the research process and not so much on the tool itself
