Another example from early childhoodeducation addresses the need for instructional design in the online classroom to be centered onthe learner and the improvement of learning outcomes.2 Many of the suggested practices toincrease students’ active learning are relevant for

As part of this program, students are required tocomplete a comprehensive capstone project requiring access to the research literature andtraining on its use.The Library plays an important role in providing the information resources and instruction tohelp students succeed in their capstone. In response to student need, we designed an onlineinstruction environment that supports common information challenges, uses

Instead, the team identified the best candidates forbibliographic instruction relative to timing during the semester, the knowledge practices neededto complete an assignment, and skills needed across the entire course (see Appendix 2). Forexample, the course coordinator had identified poor student performance in using crediblesources as a major problem, so identifying sources and assessing credibility is emphasizedthroughout the redesigned Research Guide.Tabs were created for individual assignments as follows:• Review of an engineering

This selection process requires the ideas generated previously befleshed in the form of basic configurations that can be evaluated, for instance, as a computer modelto determine whether these preliminary designs are feasible and practical. Often this is a hands-onphase of design, where the team makes simple or more sophisticated prototypes and conduct teststo see if they meet the design specifications.

In November 1962 sheaccepted an appointment as an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Library Science atthe Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia. In addition to teaching courses in the MLISprogram, Takle conducted research on foreign technical information. From 1963-64, she was theassistant director and senior investigator of the Foreign Engineering Literature Research Project.At the 1963 ASEE conference in Philadelphia, she presented her research on Germanengineering literature.[17] Takle’s academic career was short-lived. In late 1965 or early 1966,she left Drexel to
