Adding value to first year student learning with embedded library
media
Julia Gross
Embedding library media
• media: podcasts/vodcasts can increase student engagement
• podcasts/vodcasts can enrich student learning
• blended learning experience• embedded ‘just-in-time’ library media • collaboration between academic staff and
faculty librarians
Teacher education case study
• faculty/library partnership– Unit coordinator
• Teacher Education K-7 first year students– Library hands-on workshop
• Teacher Education first year unit – EDL1000 Becoming a Teacher
• study participants = 323• our hypothesis
Our hypothesis
The effective utilisation of specific library media, requires that they are strategically placed. By locating media in context, aligned with other learning activities within an academic unit or program, we hypothesised that the media would attract interest and provide data about students’ library literacy and needs
Information push approach
• pilot semester 1, 2009• information push
approach• support and assist
students• develop students’
information literacy skills
• evaluation of these library media
Library podcasts/vodcasts
• Borrowing from the library (audio)
• Education databases (audio)
• Developing a search strategy (video)
• WilsonWeb Education database (video)
Media delivery using LAMS
• Learning Activity Management System (LAMS)
• LAMS plug in within Blackboard
• purpose built for online learning
• student-centred learning

Evaluation of LAMS access logs
LAMS forum discussion
I do use the databases and find that they take up little time and are very easy to use. I would advise others to use them too
I haven’t actually used the education database yet, but now feel, after watching the podcast, that when I eventually do, I will know how to use it
LAMS forum discussion
I particularly liked the consistent use of examples to help us understand the theory behind how to develop an effective search strategy
The vodcast helped us create better search strategies which will help us find more quality information and will save us time
What did we learn?
What did we learn, about using media? • embedded library media supports students
– asynchronous access– at point of need – sustainable, re-usable– needs updating
• LAMS ideal medium, not essential
What did we learn, our staff?• educational partnerships between library
and academic staff • academic staff bring great student focus• need to target academic staff willing to
experiment• library staff learn new skills
What did we learn, about our students?• interest in library media from students• decreased in interest in more specific
library media • library awareness in first year TE students• useful comments on the Forum• good to hear the student voice
