Presentation
Backward Design for Library Instruction
Georgia International Conference Information Literacy-Georgia Southern University

Abstract
Many librarians may be familiar with the general concepts of Backward Design, but few resources are available to help apply this method of Instructional Design to typical library instruction sessions. Based on professional literature and personal experience, the presenter of this workshop will guide participants through the Backward Design process and how it can be used to develop a typical one-shot instruction session. Participants will join in the practical application of this process by collaboratively planning a library instruction session for a standard freshman writing course. Through this process, we will also briefly discuss student learning objectives (SLOs), in-class assessment techniques, and active learning, culminating in the creation of an outline for teaching a session.
