Virtual Event

Students in experiential learning courses are often tasked with applied research activities in and out of the classroom. Venturing beyond the traditional academic information landscape in applied course settings typically requires extra preparation and assistance.

Librarians can help students effectively access, interpret, evaluate and synthesize information in ambiguous, interdisciplinary environments. While research shows that faculty tend to associate library support with traditional research assignments (Gruber, 2018), librarians can advise and collaborate with instructors on resource selection and access, workshop and assignment co-design, and navigating copyright and licence limitations with external partners.

This informative workshop is facilitated by librarians and faculty with long-standing collaborations on applied learning courses. Designed for instructors teaching courses with experiential or applied research elements, this session highlights curricular supports and collaborative best practices for library engagement to make your course a success.

Participants will:

Distinguish between learners’ information needs in experiential learning vs traditional academic research settings

Understand what U of T Library resources and supports are available to students in applied course settings

Explore how librarians can integrate applied research skills and competencies into course workshops and assignments to align with your learning outcomes

Identify best practices for successful librarian and faculty collaborations
