Pre-and Postassessment Surveys for the Distance Section of LIBR 1100, Introduction to Library Research

Abstract

Articles and other materials reporting the experiences of librarians in assessing what distance students are learning in online information literacy classes are not well represented in the professional literature. Librarians who have experience assessing distance student learning should share what they have learned with colleagues who, in turn, need to know what methods are working, and how the assessment process can be used to improve online teaching and learning. This article reports on the experience gained by librarians at Texas Tech University Libraries while developing and implementing pre- and postassessment surveys that were administered in the distance learning section of a library research course taught in the fall of 2009. The course had not included learning outcomes assessment before 2008. The assessment's findings were used to improve both the content and the teaching of the course's online section.
