CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources. This virtual course includes material that was first shared with the CARLI membership during the Open Textbook Network Train-the-Trainer workshops.

This course will be offered May 2023 with the live sessions on May 5, 12, 19 from 12:30 – 2:00pm. Attendees should plan to attend each live session.

The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the course planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

Technology used for live sessions: Zoom, ideally participants will be able to use video as well as audio.

Registration: More information on this course and instructions for registering can be found here.

If you have any questions, please send them to CARLI Support.

    The CARLI Instruction Committee is seeking presentation proposals for the 11th annual Instruction Showcase, to be held virtually on Thursday, June 1st. CARLI members and Illinois LIS students are welcome to submit proposals on all library instruction topics and are encouraged to draw inspiration from the committee's theme this year: Re-examining Instruction.

    Submission Timeline

    The committee is seeking proposals for three possible session types: Lesson Plan Presentations, Tech It Out Demos, and Learning Objects Lightning Round.

    Lesson Plan Presentations
    15 minute presentation + 5 minute Q&A
    Lesson plans related to the theme might include how you have re-imagined lesson plans since COVID disruptions have slowed down, your process to re-examine and find new approaches to a topic you teach, or instructional methods that are more sustainable in terms of staff time and effort.

    Proposals should outline an instruction session activity that supports skills-based or conceptual learning and encourages active student participation (approx. 100 words).

    Please include a full lesson plan with your proposal. A template is available here, but feel free to use your preferred format.

    All lesson plans must include the following elements: topic, learning objectives, materials, activity overview, assessment of student learning, and applicable frame(s) from the Framework for Information Literacy. Previous recordings of Lesson Plan Presentations can be viewed here.

    Tech it Out Demos (Teaching Tool Demonstration)
    15 minute presentation + 5 minute Q&A
    Presenters are invited to deliver brief demos of technology used for library instruction or to put pedagogical theories into practice (either new tools or innovative uses of established ones). These demonstrations are geared towards fellow instructors who may adopt the tools discussed, but can include examples of how they would be implemented in a classroom setting.

    Proposals should include the tool(s) being used, the instruction applications, and a brief (approx. 100 words) description of what will be shown in the demo. Previous recordings of Tech It Out Presentations can be viewed here.

    Learning Objects Lightning Round (Digital Instruction Objects Showcase)
    5 min presentation + Asynchronous material share + synchronous Q&A
    Rather than traditional poster presentations, presenters are invited to share digital learning objects (such as LibGuides, tutorials, modules, websites, instructional videos, etc.) that apply instructional theories into practice or provide new approaches to self-guided learning. If you aren’t sure if your material applies, please don’t hesitate to reach out before proposing.

    Proposals should include an accessible link to your material and a brief (approx. 100 words) description contextualizing its application for viewers. If your example is not open to the public, please plan to do an unnarrated 2-3 minute length screen recording prior to the event to be shared with showcase attendees. At the event, presenters will have 5 minutes to briefly share their object followed by a Q+A period for participants to gain more insight into the projects. Links to the objects will be included in the showcase website following the event.

    Please feel free to review the previous Showcase agendas and presentations.

    If you have any questions about this program, please contact .
