Synchronous Instruction
In-Person Teaching Support
Instruction Sessions
You can request an in-person class for any course using the Teaching Collaboration Request form.
- Please allow at least 2 weeks notice for our staff to adjust their schedules and plan the lesson. The earlier you request a collaboration, the better the interaction will be.
- Instructor attendance at teaching and learning sessions is required. Exceptions may be arranged with the staff member leading the session.
Object-Based Learning Sessions
By actively interacting with objects like artifacts, specimens, or art, learners develop skills in analysis, comparison, description, and interpretation, fostering deeper understanding of their context and promoting long-term knowledge retention and transferable skills. Contact museum staff to arrange a lesson.
Online Teaching Support
Librarians can teach via zoom for both online and hybrid class formats. Request a teaching collaboration to find out which option would work best for your online class.
Asynchronous Instruction
- Assignment Design Resources: We support teaching and learning by collaborating with faculty to craft hands-on lessons and by developing semester long partnerships that are connected to course goals.
- Tutorials: The library hosts a number of video and interactive tutorials that can be incorporated into any class. Interactive tutorials often include a quiz which can be included as low-stakes graded content.
- Consultations: If you don’t have time for a full instruction session, consider including a librarian’s contact information in your research assignments and encouraging your students to schedule consultations. Most librarians offer consultations via zoom and in person.
- Canvas Support: Librarians can be added to your canvas class as a resource assistant which does not allow access to the grade book, but does allow librarians to create pages or host discussions about search strategies, information evaluation, scholarly communication, media creation, data management, and more.
Digital Badges
The Library, Museums and Press offers digital badges as a way to recognize learning that takes place outside of the classroom. Contact Maria Barefoot to learn more or inquire about partnering with the library on badge programs.
