Session #1--Training Adult Students

Instructional Foci: Ittner workbook (Chapters 2 & 9), brainstorming, group discussion, PowerPoint presentation & lecture, flipcharts for participants, informal oral quizzes

Instructional Learning Objectives:

• List six characteristics of adult learners in a group setting.
• Describe, in a short quiz, five of eight key principles to follow in helping adults learn.
• Identify in a group setting the four basic facilitation skills used in conducting instruction for adults.

Teaching Strategies/Procedures:

• The Instructor will teach and/or refresh participants about the adult learner/student by initially conducting a survey (from Ittner workbook, Chapter 2—see Materials section) to identify learning styles found in adults. (20 minutes)
• Through group discussion, facilitated by the instructor, the participants will explore the adult learner further by discussing the characteristics of adult learners in depth, and adult computer learners in general. A PowerPoint presentation with copies of the slides put into worksheets for the participants will help keep the training session focused. (30 minutes)
• Adult learning principles from the workbook (see Ittner, Chapter 2) will be explored with the participants writing their own version and rank ordering their list and sharing them with the group in a flipchart. (30 minutes)
• The session will conclude with the instructor lecturing on four basic facilitation skills and demonstrating each (see Ittner, Chapter 9). (30 minutes)
• A short informal quiz on all topics covered will follow, along with group discussion on the skills. (10 minutes)

Session #2--The Internet

Instructional Foci: Group discussion, PowerPoint presentation & lecture, workbook, brainstorming, listing

Instructional Learning Objectives:

• Describe the two categories and four types of computer learners in a short quiz.
• Discuss the two categories and four types of computer learners in a group setting to help to better relate to them.
• Identify in a group setting the four basic facilitation skills used in conducting instruction for adults.
• Describe four unique characteristics of the Internet and Internet instruction in a short quiz.

Teaching Strategies/Procedures:

• The Instructor will give a brief summary of session #1. (15 minutes)
• Participants will then write a short list of descriptions of adult computer users and the types they would expect to find in their instruction sessions. (10 minutes)
• The instructor will then compare these with the formal list on the PowerPoint slides/outline and see if the participant-generated list is closely related to the formal listing and initiate a group discussion and evaluation of them both. (15 minutes)
• Participants will then write a short description of the Internet, after a general information lecture/PowerPoint presentation is given. (10 minutes)
• After group discussion, the instructor will ask participants to write a few expectations of the Internet from (1) a student’s perspective and (2) a librarian’s perspective. (10 minutes)
• The instructor will again compare these with the PowerPoint slides and initiate a group discussion and evaluation of the findings. (15 minutes)
• The session will conclude with the group sharing their experiences with this topic and examples of how to better use the basic facilitation skills (attending, questioning, listening, and observing) in an EC. (45 minutes)

Session #3--Training Skills & Teaching Styles in the EC

Instructional Foci: PowerPoint lecture, workbook, group discussion, demonstration, practice training, evaluation

Instructional Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate a teaching style used for Internet computer instruction through a 5-7 minute presentation on any topic of interest regarding the Internet.
• Demonstrate basic facilitation skills through a 5-7 minute presentation on any topic of interest regarding the Internet.
• Express increased confidence on the end-of-course evaluation about preparing for an Internet library instruction in the EC relative to feelings prior to taking the course.
• Appreciate the importance of knowing categories and types of computer learners in regards to instruction.
• Appreciate, on an end-of-training evaluation and in group discussion, the practical use of using basic facilitation skills for training adults in an electronic environment.
