“If you… wanna’ know…the real deal”The library’s Distance Services Department (composed of Tom
Riedel and Paul Betty) is the primary instruction liaison to nearly10,000 students enrolled in accelerated online and ground-based undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

All asynchronous, all the time.

Asynchronous time savers
• Templates / scripts (HTML) • Handouts (PDF)• Tutorials (Captivate, Jing)• Define roles between library
and university departments

A targeted approach to instruction
ACTIONS• Identify courses that include a
research component• Solicit instructors via email• Clearly defined areas of service

RESULTS• Strong relationships with some
affiliate faculty; continued collaboration
• Establish a “norm” among affiliate faculty
• Librarians become collaborators in course development and (re)design.

Hitting the target
Hitting the target means greater demand for services. The number of library instruction sessions provided by the department has increased 300% in the past ten years—both a measure of our success as well as an indicator of how close to the breaking point we are.

Barriers for synchronous instruction
• Asynchronous interaction the de facto standard in online instruction
• Geographic dispersion of online student population
• Webcasts compete with on-the-ground instruction for scheduling

MOTIVES for synchronous instruction
• Direct requests from faculty members
• University’s acquisition of software with flexible license
• Learning styles• ACRL Guidelines for Distance
Learning• Potential time saver?

Down the road…
• Utilizing webcast software for other services (orientations, office hours, ground based courses, etc.)
• Greater access and admin rights in the new CMS (D2L)
• Scalability and sustainability
