Teaching skills
21 June & 10 July, London
The changing economic and political context of further and higher education
is leading academic institutions to examine every aspect of the service
that they provide for students. Many managers see the active development of
information skills work as a crucial element of their strategy to enhance
the status of the library/learning resource centre and maintain a high
profile.
For a number of years many librarians have been 'teaching' students how
touse learning resources/ information sources/on-line sources/the Internet
etc. but how many have had formal training in how to plan and deliver
an
effective learning activity? This two-day linked event provides an
opportunity to learn new skills and to enhance existing ones.
Benefits from attending
It will enhance participants' ability to plan and deliver effective
sessions
for groups of information users.
By the end of the event participants will have:
* identified some components of effective adult learning and
related them to their own teaching priorities
* considered some relevant theories of learning and their implications
for planning teaching sessions
* planned a learning activity
* practised some skills necessary for teaching groups (micro-teaching)
* considered what makes a good facilitator of learning
