Designing LibGuides as Instructional Tools for Critical Thinking and Effective Online Learning
Baker, Ruth L.
Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, v8 n3-4 p107-117 2014
Did you ever wish for an easy-to-maintain tool to create course-level or assignment-level instruction for online or distance students? LibGuides can provide the solution! LibGuides provide a versatile and easy-to-maintain platform for delivering step-by-step, scaffolded tutorials that enhance learning outcomes through chunking, reduced strain on cognitive load and working memory, and metacognition. Tutorial-type LibGuides, compared to Pathfinder-type guides: stand alone as modules for online learning; improve student learning outcomes for specific courses; and promote lifelong habits of critical thinking and effective research skills. Assignment-level guides also provide measurable student learning outcomes for the assessment of information literacy instruction.
