Re-conceptualizing Librarianship as a Design Discipline
From ‘Design Thinking’ to ‘Design Knowing’
https://goo.gl/yLrG8l
Rachel Ivy Clarke, Ph.D. (@archivy) discussed the theoretical underpinnings that distinguish design knowledge from scientific knowledge and how it is relevant to research, teaching and practice in librarianship.
Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in applying “design thinking” to library work, but librarianship also aligns with “design knowing”—foundations of knowledge in design that differentiate it from science.

Researchers: Forget Internet Abstinence; Teens Need some Online Risk
By Dian Schaffhauser 05/16/16

My note: after years of imposing Internet filters at schools, “cap” students’ natural curiosity by denying open access to the Internet, etc., this is the first article, which openly defies the bureaucratic / technocratic approach to regulation of the acquisition of knowledge at American schools.
the conclusion from a Pennsylvania State University research project that examined adolescent online safety. This approach includes an important role for teachers as “trusted confidantes” and “educated advisors.”
The results, “Dear Diary: Teens Reflect on Their Weekly Online Risk Experiences,” were published by the Association for Computing Machinery and presented at the organization’s recent Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
“Teens have a strong sense of cost vs. reward, so if we can educate them more clearly on the costs associated with their actions, they may make better decisions on their own,”
Digital Literacy and Preparing Students for the Workforce
Digital Technology Is Changing the Career Landscape
- People are living longer.
- Technology can now augment and extend our own abilities.
- Daily life is now computational as innovations in sensors and processing make our world a programmable system.
- Our new media ecology and advances in communications systems require media literacies beyond text.
- Social technologies are driving new forms of production and value creation.
- Our world is now globally connected, highlighting diversity and adaptability.
Digital Literacy Is a Professional Competency
media-rich education, including interactive approaches such as digital storytelling or remix education, ensures that students are familiar with modern tools and “natural language” modes of expression. We are increasingly moving into what many scholars consider a post-literate world, one in which images, video, and the written or spoken word are used fluidly together, symbiotically, to communicate increasingly complex concepts. Modern rhetoric now includes TED talks, animated lectures, visual essays, and a plethora of other interactive and dynamic multimedia.
Smart Classrooms = Smart Workers
ten, technology-oriented strengths as “must haves” for future employers:
- An ability to determine deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressed via all mediums.
- An ability to connect with others in a meaningful and direct way via modern technologies and our global networks.
- A proficiency in problem-solving and critical analysis, especially when working with digital relationships or data.
- An ability to adapt to different cultural settings and modalities, necessitated by our global media ecosystem.
- An ability to translate specific information and data into abstracts while understanding the underlying reasoning.
- An ability to critically assess and develop content that uses evolving digital media, leveraging these tools for direct and persuasive communication.
- A transdisciplinary, multimedia mindset that eschews specialized or localized intelligences.
- A design or goal-oriented mindset that employs systems thinking and that develops tasks and work processes towards a desired outcome.
- An ability to discriminate and filter both digital and analog information for importance, while maximizing cognitive and productivity efficiencies.
- An ability to work productively and innovatively via virtual collaboration.
Digital Backpack, is certainly one of the first steps, as is developing an educational framework within which students can meanfully and productively interrogate our technologically driven world.

Moving beyond smile sheets: A case study on the evaluation and iterative improvement of an online faculty development program
http://patricklowenthal.com/moving-beyond-smile-sheets-case-study-evaluation-iterative-improvement-online-faculty-development-program/
The eCampus Quality Instruction Program (eQIP) is an online faculty development program developed to train faculty in designing and teaching fully online courses.
What is the best way to design and develop high- quality online courses and support faculty as they teach online?
Given faculty’s competing priorities and limited time, we contend that it is important for institutions, and specifically faculty developers, to analyze how much time faculty are spending in online faculty development activities as well as which parts are taking the most (or least) time. (p. 5)
A successful online faculty development program must include pedagogical support, technology support, and design and development support (Baran & Correia, 2014) that overcome obstacles about time, expertise, and motivation of faculty (Henning, 2012).(p. 17)
