Engagement

Engagement:

  • Student voice

– We asked a few postgraduate students, ‘What do you wish you’d known about the library when starting your research?’ – Engineering students talking to Engineering students about what they think is important – A visible presence

Engagement

Engagement:

  • “Your research”
  • Videos and interactivity

– TED talks – ‘Library minute’ – Captivate interactive videos – Quizzes with feedback

  • Engineering-focussed images

Accessibility

  • Anywhere.
  • Anytime.

Future directions:

  • Multiple devices
  • Other disciplines

What do the students think?

  • Initial survey (2013)

– General availability to research students – Comments reshaped the resource

  • Pilot (2015)

– 12 selected research students – In their first year of research – Anonymous survey

Summary

  • Structure is important
  • Platform influences
  • Underpinning pedagogy
  • Engagement
  • Student voice

– Topics – Presence – Feedback

  • Anywhere, anytime
