Your options for hybrid and online approaches to research skills and information literacy instruction just keep growing! In addition to the suite of online modules created by UCLA Library staff https://uclalibrary.github.io/research-tips/, there are numerous videos, tutorials, and other resources available to you as well.
In this interactive session, we will discuss how pre- and post-assignments can help you free up time in your library instruction sessions for more active learning and critical inquiry. We will also take a look at ways in which integration of research skills support into LibGuides and CCLE can help you extend access to information literacy skill development to more learners and researchers at UCLA. And then we’ll wrap things up with an open discussion of the future of hybrid and online approaches to research skills instruction and share ideas on future collaborations and next steps.
Exploring your options with hybrid and online research skills instruction

Hybrid and Online Research

2. This is a research paper, so you must
incorporate 3 appropriate sources (i.e.,
NOT Wikipedia!) into your argument.
Does this writing prompt focus on the final product or the process?
What might be hidden or not clear to students?
What scaffolding or support would be needed to help students
succeed?
3. readings,
and drafts
,
many assignments describe this:
w/o adequately addressing these:
• “include 3 scholarly sources in your
paper”
• “citations in APA format, double-
spaced”
• “make sure your writing is both ‘clear’
and ‘concise’
• …..
• how do scholars ask and
answer questions in this
discipline?
• what constitutes evidence in
this discipline? why? how is
evidence presented/
formatted?
• what are the characteristics
of influential writing in this
discipline?
• What are the steps and
stages of a research and
writing process? How are
research papers created?
4. “[W]hile a ‘one-shot’ model with minimal
faculty engagement may indeed
encourage IL concept retention, a course-
integrated model with multiple diverse
pedagogical interventions at the syllabus
and classroom level consistently achieved
greater performance gains.

How do we work toward “a
course-integrated model with
multiple diverse pedagogical
interventions”?
6. In-Class Instruction
How can we help students
before and after our
instruction sessions?
multiple diverse pedagogical interventions
7. multiple diverse pedagogical interventions
Integration of Research & IL
Instruction + Library services
Directly into Syllabus, Writing
Prompts, & CCLE
8. Support for Project Planning,
Time Management, and Idea
Generation
multiple diverse pedagogical interventions
14. multiple diverse pedagogical interventions
Lots of ways to Mix, Match, and Provide
Different Pathways for Learners.

focusing on:
• collaborating with faculty to develop thoughtful
assignments;
• designing online instructional materials
integrated into the curriculum;
• scaffolding research and writing assignments.

educational experiences and scholarly content are
produced. Academia is a made thing, we can
show students the seams, and allow them to find
their way in.

What’s next?
What would help you foster
“multiple diverse pedagogical
interventions”?
How can we help?
Would you like to see WI+RE’s
work continue? Evolve?
How would you like to contribute
or get involved?
28. i
Focus on instructor Development: Graduate TA training 495 classes!!!!! CUTF!!!!! Writing Programs Orientation
Try out integration during-instruction (good for students and also works for instructor outreach)
Incorporate reflective post-assignment (See Annette Marines work at UCSC)
Outreach to high school students
Use for filling in the gaps for transitioning students (freshmen, transfers, graduate students)
Add link(s) to your Email signature! (could use bit.ly to track stats)
Follow WI+RE accounts on social media, likes, shares, RTs
Help each other feel confident collaborating with instructors
Explore cognitive learning theories (internally and w/ instructors)
Frame scaffolding in terms of supporting the research life cycle
Explore “decoding the disciplines”
Host viewing parties + Q&A Movie festivals
Solicit feedback - what would you like to see?
Host a design party around a new ideas (e.g., primary/secondary + scholarly & popular)
Create for new audiences, e.g., TAs/instructor
Gather more feedback from instructors on how they use the modules
Create a Web presence for TA/s and for instructors
Ideas and Feedback Collected During the session
