Opportunity out of change: designing a new approach to student & teaching support at UCD Library

Abstract: This poster presents UCD Library’s two eLearning ‘showcase environments’ on our website; the Learning Support Menu space geared towards academic staff and the Supporting Your Learning space aimed at students. These online spaces were devised to promote a suite of varied, self-paced, eLearning objects created by the Library eLearning team using Articulate Storyline and Captivate. These eLearning objects have a strong branded identity, are arranged by need and are intended to complement our face-to-face training sessions. All design decisions were “user centred”. A prioritized framework was developed based on identifiable needs culminating in a creative and successful in-house production of eLearning objects. This in turn has raised our profile as eLearning Librarians within the university.
