Registration is open for the next free LILi (Lifelong Information Literacy) Show & Tell webinar, ” Asynchronous Learning and Scalar: A Beginner’s Experience with Creating Learning Modules”. It will take place on Wednesday, March 6, at 12:00 PM CDT. The presenter is Michelle Sanchez, Reference Librarian at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
The COVID-19 pandemic shined a light on digital education. Librarians used commonly-known software and applications like Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Docs, and Canvas for online instruction. While it was logical to utilize these resources, there are other lesser-known user friendly options that could help librarians (especially those who are newer to asynchronous learning) with creating learning objects. One such possibility would be Scalar, a multimedia digital publishing platform. This presentation will give an overview of how a librarian with limited online education experience used Scalar to produce a leaning module for an upper-level undergraduate seminar.
Please register here. Can’t attend? The session will be recorded and shared via the LILi LibGuide here, which also includes recordings of past sessions. More information on the LILi Show & Tell webinar series is available here.
