CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources.

May 1, 8, and 15, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (materials for first session sent to participants beginning on April 24, live sessions via Zoom on May 1, 8, and 15).

Attendees should plan to attend each live session.

CARLI is planning to offer this program multiple times throughout the year.

The virtual program will contain both synchronous (3 live 90 minutes Zoom sessions) and asynchronous activities (readings, videos, etc.) to be completed before each live session. The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the program 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.

The asynchronous portions of the training, shared with participants weekly, should not take longer than one hour of your time prior to each live session.

The train-the-trainer program is designed to help the novice person learning about open educational resources to apply the information from this program to build their own local programs and workshops as they move up the Bloom’s Taxonomy from remember and understand to apply.

Registration to attend the 13th Annual CARLI Instruction Showcase is now open!

To register: Use the link above.

This free virtual event is hosted by the CARLI Instruction Committee and will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, May 21, from 9:00 am to 2:30 p.m CDT. Please share with anyone at your institution who may be interested: we welcome all library staff and LIS students to this event in the hopes of expanding our community of practice.

This year’s program continues the committee’s year-long theme of “​​Instructional Possibilities,” which invites librarians to reflect on their praxis and explore ways to refresh their teaching.

  • Keynote speaker Merinda Hensley will discuss the value of information literacy and instruction in shifting landscapes.
  • Presentations by librarians from a variety of CARLI institutions will explore diverse themes clustered around Navigating Instructional Currents: Culture, Teaching, and Collaboration and Establishing New Waters: Emerging Technology and Developments.
  • We’re also delighted to host two panels of graduate students addressing these themes, so we can hear from emerging voices.

The event will end with a networking opportunity. We are encouraging our grad student participants to stay and build community with current instruction librarians: if you can set aside the time to join us and share your experiences with current and future colleagues, that would be wonderful.
