Public Librarian Cohort Train the Trainer
Topic outline
-
Description:
The Librarian Cohort is a spring learning community and delivered in synchronously and asynchronously online. We will continue to use this space throughout all phases of the grant for information and resource sharing.
This learning community is intended to provide train-the-trainer instruction. Collectively, we will explore open education, open educational resources, textbook publishing, and related issues, technology, and impacts in terms of curriculum and teaching and learning. Through this train-the-train, you will gain the confidence and capacity teaching the materials to your faculty cohort.
Cohort Goals:
- Create a community by connecting librarians from across the state in a supportive learning environment,
- Provide introduction to open education and to the infrastructure for open publishing (Pressbooks) and open course design (Moodle template) and corresponding tools and skills,
- Provide professional development to enable librarian leaders to apply their expertise and iterate on this training to share information to their faculty cohorts effectively, respond to participant questions, and lead work.
Instructional Technologies:
Through this experience, participants will use Google Drive, Moodle, Pressbooks, Zoom, and OER repositories.
Schedule:
Our cohort activity is structured into two-week module. The specifics of each module will be shared via this Moodle, with activities/readings to be completed prior to that module's Zoom meeting.

Welcome to Module 4! This module, we continue to develop our understanding of strategies we can use to support content creation and the accessibility of content. We will continue to explore these themes in depth through our librarian training sessions over the summer and fall.
