Webinar: Engaging Learners through Active Instruction and Assessment

There is a priced 90 minute webinar on November 14 2018, starting at 2.30 US Eastern time (which is, e.g., 7.30pm UK time) Engaging Learners through Active Instruction and Assessment. It is organised by the American Library Association. "Whether you have one 60-minute session or a whole semester, successful instruction requires engaging with students early. Information literacy instructors can prepare students for learning and maximize participation during class time by employing key strategies both before class begins and in the critical first 15 minutes of class time. By the end of this session, participants will be ready to: quickly create welcoming environments where students feel comfortable speaking, sharing mis-steps, and detailing accomplishments; use principles of inclusive pedagogy to create customized and effective active learning exercises; and empower students to take leadership roles in their learning experiences." It is US $54 for ALA members aand US $60 for non-members. More info at https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/engaging-learners-through-active-instruction-and-assessment-workshop
