Abstract

This paper describes the in-house re-development and evaluation of an existing online resource that supports students throughout their academic learning journey. The Monash University Library Research and Learning Online (RLO) project incorporated a number of eLearning development practices, as well as devising suitable procedures for completing eLearning projects, within its complex work environment. The evaluation described in this paper suggests that the project was largely successful, with contributing features such as templates, examples, workshops, collaboration and retreats that also enabled professional learning. Recommendations were made both on improving the project and for others seeking professional development inspirations in similar situations.

Abstract

This paper describes how Monash University Library created an online learning copyright resource for university staff as an artefact of an in-house blended learning course. The Copyright Module was developed through library staff collaboration and transference of skills. The team undertook continuous evaluation from multiple perspectives to inform the design, development and implementation of the module. Through this multi-dimensional approach, the team was able to create prototype activities for the module and use them to create other resources by involving the target audience in decisions about the module’s improvement. This process has led to a template of design principles for future work on this module, making it a sustainable model for in-house development of other online learning resources.

Abstract

Monash University Library works in partnership with other areas of the University to strengthen the research and education agenda. A key component of the Library’s contribution is to students’ development of information research and learning skills. Learning material is delivered in a multitude of ways. Developing capability of Library staff is equally important, enabling the Library to contribute effectively to University strategies, including those related to teaching and learning. This paper presents an evaluation of an online course designed for Library staff to develop their capability to create e-learning materials for students. Results suggest the approach was effective whilst identifying areas for improvement.
