librariana use case of instruction via Drupal

Meredith writes a bit about lessons learned teaching distance ed via Drupal. Might be useful.

Nice article!

Here's what I'd like us to do, based on that article:

  • Put the conversation at the forefront in the classroom: Integrate the discussion elements into the class space
  • Use the read/experience/reflect cycle--incorporating readings, experiential exercises, writing & commenting
  • Invite guest speakers--librarians, computer scientists, & IT sorts who can offer practical advice
  • Be transparent: explain why we're doing things; be willing to make changes to the course if the students tell us it's not working; be on the open-web
  • Promote participants' self-efficacy
