Notes de l'éditeur
Dismantle our traditional sessions, focussed on training students to use a specific resource
More about learning principles behind searching – what are you looking for? What are the limits of your research?
To be
More creative
Interactive and collaborative- peer learning
About the principles, not a specific resource
Challenge our own assumptions!
Students sat round small tables in groups, not in rows
Students have a Think Pad on each table, and a mike- creating the expectation you will have to interact
There are two presentation screens
Students screens can be projected on to the big screen- peer learning
We asked students to work in groups to find information answer a research question- one book, one article, any other item of their choice - then show their process on the screen
Students asking each other questions: ‘Can you show me how that works?’
