Short Description

This workshop will introduce the concept of a Planned Learning Experience to enhance active learning in User Education. Participants will understand how utilizing educational theory will help create faculty-librarian collaboration and the ability to market your library instruction program to the institution. The goalof this workshop is to create a learning environment in which librarians spend more time working on the PLE rather than listening about the benefits of using one.
