Merlot ‘08
This weekend, my colleagues from two different projects and I participate in a panel discussion at MERLOT
Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching.
My co presenters are Becky Hines from The Screen in Flat and Ann York, my co-producer of the podcast series Dispatches from the Graduate Classroom.
This is the Eighth International Conference
MERLOT: Still Blazing the Trail and Meeting New Challenges in the Digital Age
Our discussion description from the program.
The Screen is Flat - Reinventing Libraries for Information Literacy
Track: Track 5 – Reinventing Libraries in the Digital Age
The Screen is Flat panel discussion will converge the viewpoints of a librarian, a graduate school professor, and a multimedia information designer to create a team strategy for transforming physical and virtual library environments to the computer screen. The panelists will engage participants in visualizing libraries in the Web 2.0 world and beyond, outline three critical skill sets for information literacy, and illustrate how personal learning environments will be shaped by collaborations in and out of the classroom. Attendees will leave with tactics, references on best practices, and a network of colleagues to continue dialogue as they implement change.
