Blending Instructional Design, Technology, and Librarianship

This site is designed to provide basic information about Blended Librarianship, and to provide information about the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. We invite you to explore this site and learn more about Blended Librarianship and our community.

This live webcast event will explore what flipping the classroom is and how it is being applied to change the nature of student instruction and learning in higher education today. Join Steven Bell and John Shank as they lead a panel discussion with Dr. Robert Talbert (Associate Professor of Mathematics at Grand Valley State University) and Dr. Ike Shibley (Associate Professor of Chemistry at Penn State University Berks College) to discuss the benefits they have experienced in their classroom by using the classroom flip. Additionally, the panel will discuss how librarians can learn from, as well as integrate this approach into their own services and instructional processes to enhance faculty support and student learning.

View the archived recording of a recent webcast, Lessons for Learning: Putting Project Information Literacy to Work is now available at the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. This webcast event explores Project Information Literacy (PIL), a multi-year investigation of what it’s like to be a student in the digital age. Findings from the various studies confirm that students now face problems—and opportunities—due to abundance of information rather than scarcity. Dr. Eisenberg, co-Principal Investigator on PIL, delves into the implications of PIL findings for learning, teaching, and library services, resources, and facilities. Learn how you can use the research findings to further your own information literacy initiative, and hear what’s in store for PIL. View the webcast.
