Teach information literacy skills in order to facilitate effective learning organizations.

  • Download LI802 Human-Computer Interaction.ppt
  • LI802, Theoretical Foundations of Service Diagnosis, required each student to prepare a seminar on a topic chosen by Dr. Thomas; my chosen topic was Human-Computer Interaction.

    This presentation helped me to do several things:

    • First, it gave me a chance to think about how to customize my presentation for an audience with varying learning styles.
    • Second, I was able to hone my relatively "green" presentation skills.
    • Third, I had the chance to become more familiar with a concept that I had always been interested in, but not had the chance to learn much about.

    This seminar was also particularly valuable because Dr. Thomas had built audience feedback into the format, and so I was able to reflect on the effectiveness of my presentation so that I could learn how to improve upon it in the future.

    Emporia State University

    The oldest School of Library and Information Management (SLIM) in the western U.S., Emporia State University was founded in 1902 and serves a twelve-state area. Designed for non-traditional students, SLIM's weekend-intensive structure and large complement of online courses allow many full-time workers (myself included) the flexibility they need to complete their MLIS degrees.
