| dc.description.abstract | Two librarians at Dalhousie have partnered with an existing learning skills summer program for re-admitted students. We aimed to help students develop better research practices, and my role was to design an IL session and assignment. Our total efforts were threefold: (1) classroom instruction focusing on high-level concepts that align with the program’s mandate to help students break unproductive habits; (2) a Wikipedia-editing research assignment; (3) one-on-one sessions to reinforce concepts and skills to complete the assignment. This session will focus specifically on the IL session and research assignment.
Following this presentation, attendees will gain
- Examples of how the ACRL Framework could be used as inspiration for a research assignment
- Examples of how a Wikipedia editing assignment can be adapted to the one-shot environment
- Ideas for partnering with other university stakeholders to promote student retention | en_US |
