Team Lead, Discovery Services Engineering, EBSCO Information Services Elliott Smith,
Emerging Technologies Librarian, University of California, Berkeley Digital textbooks, social media, video content. It seems as if instructors are moving everything into online and hybrid classrooms except for the resources of the library! How can librarians bring the world of quality databases, ebooks, and other digital resources easily and directly into the online learning environment? This interactive session demonstrates a plug-in for learning management systems (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Sakai, Canvas) that adds unprecedented functionality for online course instructors: the ability to create reading lists of library materials without ever having to leave the course site. The plug-in allows instructors to create library reading lists without grappling with permalinks, proxy prefixes, or PDFs, leveraging the value of the library discovery system in a frictionless environment. Come see how the library is directly embedded in the online learning and hear how it is getting positive attention from campus administration and teaching faculty. Learn about the technology underneath the hood of this tool. Smith describes how a for-credit library assignment distributed annually to nearly 2,000 students was migrated to the online learning-management platform edX Edge and the capabilities of edX Edge and examines the challenges and successes of the shift from paper to an online platform. He discusses how edX Edge offers flexibility of instructional design, autograding functionality, and ease of use.
