Demand for online classes in higher education is growing. And whether you’re a seasoned library instructor adapting to more online instruction or a new librarian learning about instruction for the first time, you’re probably expected to be equally skilled in both face-to-face and online classrooms.
Instructional Design for Teaching Information Literacy Online: A Student-Centered Approach introduces light-hearted tips and advice with author-curated playlists and practical tips on rapidly designing online instruction. It offers scenarios, learning activities, lesson plan examples, rubrics, worksheets, and more, using the classic instructional design model ADDIE to frame the process and the universal design for learning framework, the community of inquiry model, and asset-based pedagogy to address the social and emotional needs of diverse online learners.
