The design of information literacy instruction and the building of it are two distinct skillsets and processes; yet all too often everything gets mashed together, creating needless confusion and stress. In this book Turnbow, an instructional designer, and Roth, an instructional technologist, suggest a better way to organize the work. They shed light on the people, processes, and resources required to create a sustainable portfolio of online instruction. With the goal of fostering conversations in your library about the most streamlined and effective ways to get the work done, they provide guidance on such topics as
- design and development processes, complete with "I.D. in Action" examples and sample design documents;
- thumbnail descriptions of ADDIE, SAM, and design thinking methods;
- creating learning objects;
- types of software tools and how to evaluate them;
- crafting the best documentation of your work for efficient maintenance and reuse;
- adapting assessment to your learning outcomes and purpose;
- when to design for performance support, an underutilized method in libraries; and
- starting points for those interested in developing instructional design and development skills.
Demystifying the instructional design and development process used to create online learning objects, this book will help you understand how instructional design principles and approaches can benefit your learners.

Turnbow, who delivers information literacy instruction in online environments, and Roth, who works in academic libraries and provides instruction services to undergraduate students, explain online information literacy instruction to library administrators and librarians. They describe the instructional design and development process used to create online learning resources that can support learning and how instructional design principles and approaches can benefit learners through any instructional method. They provide examples of how instructional design teams work within academic libraries and illustrate the knowledge and skill sets used to create learning objects. They discuss how to determine if online instruction is right for a library, the differences between the job skills and duties of an instructional designer and instructional technologist, and recommendations for allocating resources; instructional design models and processes; the concept of performance support and its use in an academic library to supplement instructional activities; the development process used for learning object creation at the U. of California San Diego Library and various modes of creating learning objects; documentation used to create learning objects; improving assessments; technology tools and software for creating online learning objects; and basic resources for librarians interested in working as instructional designers and technologists.
