What makes interaction challenging in library classrooms? (Face-to-face, or online.) by Liz Johns

2015-12-09 19:24:37 UTC

Students are reluctant to speak up

2015-12-09 19:25:03 UTC

Not knowing the students - different students from all over campus

2015-12-09 19:25:09 UTC

Participation

2015-12-09 19:25:21 UTC

Lack of computers/laptops

2015-12-09 19:25:29 UTC

No actual library classroom to use

Students don't think it's important to learn about/don't want to engage with the topic.

2015-12-09 19:25:59 UTC

low motivation

2015-12-09 19:26:08 UTC

Students that are reluctant to work/don't ask questions

gkml19010 — 2015-12-09 19:26:11 UTC

Faculty not supportive

2015-12-09 19:26:18 UTC

Not really interested in information presented

2015-12-09 19:26:30 UTC

time constraints

2015-12-09 19:26:30 UTC

for async - never knowing how many will actually show up

2015-12-09 19:26:33 UTC

Thank you!

2015-12-09 19:26:33 UTC

Students assume it's low priority since prof isn't teaching it

2015-12-09 19:26:47 UTC

Large class sizes...

2015-12-09 19:26:47 UTC

Funding for technology.

elizabethjohns06 — 2015-12-09 19:26:48 UTC

PollEverywhere only allows for 40 responses with free account.

Don't know students' names, so can't call on them

2015-12-09 19:26:51 UTC

students sometimes feel they already know everything they need to know

2015-12-09 19:26:56 UTC

Shy students.

beth_royall — 2015-12-09 19:27:00 UTC

Overshares from one or two students

2015-12-09 19:27:05 UTC

Don't

2015-12-09 19:27:11 UTC

Learning curve to get students to baseline

2015-12-09 19:27:19 UTC

Library instruction not connected to an assignment...

2015-12-09 19:27:22 UTC

Trying to learn the technology while we are teaching how to use it

2015-12-09 19:27:27 UTC

No follow-up/motivation for students

2015-12-09 19:27:35 UTC

Students not used to speaking up in class

2015-12-09 19:27:57 UTC

Lack of time. Student apathy.

2015-12-09 19:28:37 UTC

Students who are sure Google will provide everything they need.

beth_royall — 2015-12-09 19:28:38 UTC

faculty incorporating library. [they think they know it all]

2015-12-09 19:28:56 UTC

with complex technollogy sometimes students get "in the weeds" requiring tim/attention to help them troubleshoot

2015-12-09 19:29:00 UTC

Time limitations

2015-12-09 19:29:07 UTC

The 'one shot' is so common

A variety to technology skill levels

2015-12-09 19:29:08 UTC

Students who have been brought to the Library several times the same semester by faculty.

gkml19010 — 2015-12-09 19:29:08 UTC

Faculty don't communicate with themselves about when their students have visited.

New content makes students feel insecure.

2015-12-09 19:29:20 UTC

Time

2015-12-09 19:29:24 UTC

A wide variety of experience levels and abilities among the students.

beth_royall — 2015-12-09 19:29:35 UTC

Surroundings

2015-12-09 19:29:39 UTC

Not really a classroom setting

For online classes, my presentation is embedded in Canvas, but I have no opportunity for feedback.

2015-12-09 19:29:42 UTC

no computer labs!

2015-12-09 19:30:17 UTC

Students have had 'bad' interactions at previous libraries or previous instruction sessions

2015-12-09 19:30:22 UTC

Lack of integration

2015-12-09 19:30:25 UTC

Feeling like the 'substitute' teacher

We don't do much online teaching yet

2015-12-09 19:30:26 UTC

Morning classes

2015-12-09 19:30:38 UTC

Have already taught them in a one-shot, so they feel like they know everything

2015-12-09 19:30:38 UTC

technology - live classrooms don't all offer the same/or thing you want to use isn't working in that room. online- internet or computer issues (not as often but happens)

2015-12-09 19:30:48 UTC

I second the "TIME" constraint. Interactivity requires time.

beth_royall — 2015-12-09 19:30:53 UTC

Not enough time

2015-12-09 19:30:54 UTC

Small space too many students

Motivation

2015-12-09 19:31:00 UTC

Especially for online, really helps if there is incentive for students to participate

Size of class. Front row sitters vs back row sitters vs movable chairs that can circle-up

2015-12-09 19:31:08 UTC

2015-12-09 19:31:32 UTC

I usually spell real gude. How do you edit?

Time limits make it difficult to gauge how much you can plan for

2015-12-09 19:31:32 UTC

traditional students have iPads and Macs, but if there is a nontraditional student in the class they won't have that.

2015-12-09 19:31:45 UTC

Trust

2015-12-09 19:32:15 UTC

Students don't have built in relationship with us as much as they might with the primary instructor

Hoover over it, click on the pencil
