September 23, 2020 meeting, 10:30 am Zoom
Present: Jeremy

1.) Gaby & Linda: Further discussion on CountIt, survey results

 

2.) Mel Jensen (+Assessment team more generally): CLIQ survey discussion

  • Tabular data presentation across years/units?

3.) Jeremy: Editing the Instruction team/workshop page on library.cornell.edu (https://www.library.cornell.edu/services/instruction/workshops)

  • Possibility of cross-linking to that Workshops page from multiple places (already being 'piped in' to Events listing)

4.) Outreach & Programming (focus on December event or other event(s) earlier in semester):

  • Additional member for Outreach? Swap from another group?
  • Chris Miller: DIB programming; possible inclusive teaching focus for December event?
  • CTI 'guest speaker' (taught Instruction cohort in 2019 including Lenora); host them again?
  • Ivy+ collaboration (via Kelee Pacion, now at Princeton)

5.) Other subteam updates

  • LibGuides: Check in with Kevin Kidwell and Wendy about final LibGuides accessibility work; final workshop?
  • Programming: Notes from Lenora, given in absentia:
    • Our informal discussion around online instruction was postponed while awaiting information on the upcoming brown bag session that Curtis organized about online instruction (this Friday at noon). However, our scope is somewhat different, with an emphasis on discussion, and not limited to credit-bearing classes. We would like to proceed with this discussion in the next couple weeks and hope to include people with synchronous and asychronous experiences, as well as Laurent for his experience with in-person instruction during this time.
    • Reading discussion - we considered a reading on the topic of inclusive teaching but might save this theme for an end-of-term program if Melina Ivanchikova, Associate Director for Inclusive Teaching at CTI, or someone else can present or facilitate a program on this topic.
    • Promoting or collaborating on event with IvyPlus RTL (Research, Teaching, Learning): Since the IvyPlus April "Crash Course", Kelee Pacion (Princeton) and colleagues have hosted virtual discussions about online teaching success and failures (May), #BLM and antiracism (July) and Canvas Modules and Libguides (August). Who should be a point person in CUL for sharing these events? Sign up for the e-list here: https://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/ivyplusrtl  Kelee indicated that she would start the RTL group back up soon.

 

6.) Jeremy: Piktochart licenses available


August 26, 2020 meeting 10:30 am Zoom
Present: Jeremy, Lenora, Christina, Mel, Marcie, Chris, Nina, Kelly, You Lee, Laurent, Lynn

1.) Hello & brief personal check in (introduction: You Lee Chun, Kroch Asia representative)

2.) How's orientation going?

  • Law - some aspects are easier over Zoom
  • Engineering - excellent attendance for FA 20. Orientation sessions filled up and needed to be expanded for increased capacity
  • ILR - FA 20 has been a more limited orientation then previously. Includes orientation video with brief introduction to library staff and Q&A on Canvas. Feels disconnected from students compared to the usual mode of interaction. For grad orientations, students are home and attendance is good.
  • Chris led the RA Orientation this year and used tools in Poll Everywhere (word clouds, surveys, competitions) to help make it fun.

3.) Sub-team reports (esp: goals for this semester, etc.)

-LibGuides

  • Marcie will serve as subteam lead
  • LibGuides accessibility deadline of Oct. 31, 2020 is fast approaching
  • Pilot for Canvas LibGuide integration was successful in SP 20 except for some Freshmen Writing Seminars; trying to find work-arounds for these

-Outreach

  • Chris is currently alone on Outreach while Ashley is on leave, but coordinated with Nina to get briefed on previous projects; looked at Instruction pages on CUL website to see if up-to-date

-Programming

  • Lenora is subteam lead
  • Planning to host drop-in discussion for CUL instruction librarians to share tips about online instruction in next few weeks (Chris noted Sept. 10 Brown Bag regarding teaching online)
  • Also considering reading/discussion on topic related to different learning styles
  • Lenora will check in with Kelee Pacion about follow-up to April IvyPlus "Crash Conference" on research teaching and learning

-Assessment

  • See below

4.) Mel Jensen: The CLIQ survey, 5 years (!) of data, use of the CLIQ survey for at least one more semester

  • Mel is looking at data from 9 semesters and planning to pull into a report by our September meeting; will seek team input at that time.
  • Discussed with Gaby whether it makes sense to continue using CLIQ this semester under current circumstances, and with declining response rate
  • Decided to continue and to promote in hopes of improved use.

5.) Possibility of hosting webinars on online instruction during the semester from library organizations

  • Another idea for programming subteam; could promote one or more webinars and schedule discussion to follow
  • ACRL instruction section is a source to check for training

  • Marcie recommended Teaching with Primary Sources https://rbms.info/tpscollective/

6.) Possibility of having mini-conference with librarians from other institutions to compare notes on instructional work both last semester and this one

  • Could be modeled on RAD meetings in format
  • Possible topic of sharing online tools

7.) Possibility of reviving end-of-semester gathering for instruction staff w/ presentation highlighting online teaching after end of semester

  • How did online teaching go this semester?
  • Programming subteam will consider possible dates; typically right after exams, but that falls late this year
  • Laurent offered to contribute on the experience of in-person teaching this semester

8.) Review of goals

  • Please review subteam goals (in July minutes below and on team charter); let Jeremy know if there should be changes

9.) Next meeting

  • Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 10:30
