�??I use webpages, WebCT, and small-group instruction to teach basic library skills. When a course instructor agrees to participate, I create a WebCT course with links to instructional pages on our website and a customized online test. Students are expected to read the webpages, attend optional small-group classes if they like, and complete the test. They can try the test as many times as they like; the presence of rotating questions means that no two attempts will be identical, and only the highest score counts. The Professor sets the due date, after which I collect the grades and send them to the Professor. The grade counts toward the course final in some way�??I leave that up to the Professor.�??
The Module is linked from Instructional Programs�?? web site as well as the Penn State Newspaper Readership Program web pages, which provides the tutorial additional visibility. Since the tutorial is in a formative beta phase at present, we intend to promote it more widely to specific classes on the Penn State campuses after current summative revisions have been completed this Fall. We wanted to encourage the reading of daily newspapers, separate from encouraging the activity of using news sources for research and information gathering.
It is based on Dr. Carol Kuhlthau�??s theoretical model for information seeking. The creators have translated Kuhlthau�??s model into a colorful and easy to understand graphic which students click through to learn information seeking behavior. In addition, they have developed specialized workshops and tools, such as a log book, which faculty at the University of Calgary can use to teach information seeking in the classroom.
Was created by the Western New York Library Resources Council, Storyboard Team. The team received grant funding through the Western New York Library Resources Council. The objective was to create a tutorial that would serve various types of libraries across Western New York, helping them to explore different methods of instruction and to reach out to users in exciting new ways. The tutorial depicts the story of a library user who is going through the process of locating information. In order to engage the user in the story, the tutorial includes audio, video, and gaming or assessment components, ultimately moving away from tutorials that are highly textual.

Undergraduate students in the MD program are expected to use the tutorial during their course on pharmacology. That is, the tutorial is an integral component of the curriculum, but we don�??t take �??attendance.�?? The e-curriculum technology does not allow faculty to verify student use of online resources. This pharmacology class alone is composed of approximately 200 students each year. Potentially, students from the nursing department, as well as medical residents and faculty could benefit from the tutorial.
