Participatory Learning Strategies for One-Shot Instruction Sessions

Abstract

Poster presentation at LOEX Conference 2017. As information literacy instructors we may be familiar with the experience of asking a question and getting vacant stares from a class of undergraduate college students. What are some strategies to fully engage students and cultivate a participatory learning environment? In my poster I discuss hands-on pedagogical methods for getting even the shyest members of the class to contribute.
