Pollak Library Tutorials

As the first-ever Instructional Design Librarian at California State University, Fullerton’s Pollak Library, I endeavored to scale up library instruction to meet the needs of the campus’ 40,000 students. This project was a suite of four tutorials designed to give students at Cal State Fullerton an orientation to Pollak Library and how to do basic library research. These tutorials lived in our campus learning management system, Moodle (locally known as TITANium). I configured Moodle to issue a digital badge upon completion of each tutorial.

I received input on the original storyboards for these tutorials from colleagues, then I developed the tutorials myself in Storyline (most videos developed in Camtasia). All of the videos from this project were also uploaded to the official Pollak Library eLearning YouTube for a la carte use.

These tutorials were made a required component for the campus First Year Experience program, which helps Cal State Fullerton fulfill the information literacy requirement with our accrediting body, WASC.

Each tutorial is based on a Content-Practice-Assessment model, and is designed to have students master real-world skills related to the library. Each tutorial quiz must be passed at 100% (repeatable) to demonstrate that each learner mastered the learning objectives and truly earned the “badge” that is issued for a 100% score.
