Description  Have you ever found yourself looking into a sea of blank stares in the classroom? Do you ever wonder what students are actually learning? These questions and many others will be addressed in this workshop facilitated by Dr. Jeff Liles.  Explore how constructivist learning theory and assessment strategies can improve the effectiveness of "one-shot" library sessions and information literacy programs in your institutions. The program will include activities designed to facilitate a conversation with Jeff and your colleagues about how to effectively assess the "one-shot" instruction session. Note: This is a follow-up to the 2005 Spring Program titled: "It's NOT about Time: Making the Most of One-Shots." Attendance at last year’s program is not required.
