Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175
How do we engage students in their own learning, especially in short, one-shot library instruction sessions?

We will especially uncover approaches that will work for one shot library sessions. In groups we will examine one or two student engagement techniques in detail, and explore how these might work in our own contexts. We will also develop a plan for applying a student engagement technique in our own practice. This will be a discussion intensive workshop in which it will be essential to follow a close schedule of information presentation, interaction, and assessment.

One of the main goals the semantic web (sometimes referred to as Web 3.0, Linked Data, or the Web of Data) is to allow the web to be treated like a database through structured metadata, controlled vocabularies, and data linking. Simply put, semantics is the process of adding description and information to resources to help us understand the meaning of these resources. This is not a foreign concept to LIS professionals, the language and tools of semantic organization, however, are a new and evolving discipline. In this course we will provide an introduction to semantic web standards (RDF, RDFa, taxonomies/OWL, SKOS) and their application. RDF is the foundation of the semantic web and most related standards so we will spend a significant portion of time learning the basic concepts of the RDF framework and how RDF can be represented in an XML format (we'll be looking at a good number of RDF examples). In addition, we will explore how to create semantic models that could be used to link/share different types of resources, and how basic ontologies (using the Web Ontology Language) are created.

Oct: Five Hats of Instructional Design (InSynch)

If you are an instructional designer (ID), you already know that your job requires you to wear many “hats” to be effective. Some of these hats, such as “design guru” and “program manager” are familiar to most IDs and well documented in the learning community. But others are less well known and worth exploring because they shed light on the wide range of skills necessary to be effective in the ID role. Please join veteran learning developer James Goldsmith and your colleagues for this highly interactive presentation on five of the lesser known, but no less important hats of instructional design. Two for consideration are “choreographer” and “marriage counselor.” To find out about the other three, you’ll have to join the session!

• Your Facebook presence only has a handful of followers, should you keep going or give up?
