Dear Rachael,

 

My name is Caroline Ondracek, from La Trobe University Library in Victoria, Australia. I lead a team of learning and teaching librarians  and we support academics with reading lists – embedding and bookmarking items etc.

 

We initially soft launched the LTI option in our LMS/VLE (beginning of 2016), as we weren’t sure what the volume of work it would involve with staff having to embed each section in many lists on request by academic staff.

We had been talking about it for a long time in meetings that the library staff had been to throughout the curriculum redesign process with academics and we knew that they were keen to use it.  Academics were very keen to have it implemented as prior we had a link in the LMS to the list. In the curriculum redesign meetings, we also had members of the Educational Design and Development team, who then were aware of the  LTI option as well and advocated on behalf of it. We also communicated directly via email and face to face about this. No formal communications plan was set.

Once made available the academics used it immediately as it was  in the ‘Add an Activity’ -> Embed a Reading List.

 

We added some help videos and information on our TALIS pages and Teaching support webpages.

 

What VLE/LMS are you using? We have been using Moodle 3.1 and the LTI sections break with subject rollover (this has caused many issues to date).

 

I hope this helps, please ask if you have any questions for us.

 

Thanks Caroline

Hello everyone

We will soon be implementing LTI here at USW and have been thinking about how to raise awareness and promote it. Would anyone who has already implemented LTI be happy to share their promotional experiences? We're already thinking of things like workshops and will be adding information to our webpages but wondered if anyone has found a particularly effective way of getting the information out to academics.

With thanks in advance,
Rachael
