LESSON PLANS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR WRITING REQUIREMENTS

This panel session will share the process and outcomes of a collaboration between the Libraries and the Academic and Technical Writing Program (ATWP) at UVic. The panelists will discuss how librarians and ATWP administrators have developed a shared lesson plan with consistent intended learning outcomes for students in library ATWP sessions, and how the Libraries are working to encourage a consistent library instruction style that emphasizes active, participatory learning. We’ l l discuss the tensions and challenges of navigating changes in both the Libraries’ instruction program as well as within ATWP, as well as the opportunities we have for developing a shared pedagogical approach and connecting the Libraries more effectively with campus curriculum planning and strategic enrollment management.
