INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN FOR LAW LIBRARIANS (RIPS-SIS)
Tuesday, July 28 (11:30 a.m. CDT) - Thursday, July 30, 2020 (2:30 p.m. CDT)

Most law librarians who teach have never taken an instructional design course and base their best practices on watching and learning from other law librarians. This three-day workshop series is a chance to hear from law librarians who actively integrate cognitive theory, accessibility best practices, and instructional design in their teaching. Join us to learn from others, and immediately apply your newfound knowledge to your own syllabi and course assignments. Sessions include panel discussions on accessibility and instructional design; designing research courses for LLM and international students; and more!
