Session outline
1. Action Research – Appreciative inquirya) Why -> EBL model b) What we did -> Module and Datac) What we found out -> Themesd) Peer discussion (Your input)
-> Activity: Think-Pair-Share)e) Future -> Development / Publication
2. Questions and discussion
Action Research: a) why?
• Subject matter: Sustainability – emerging field• Active learning• School’s graduate attributes: ‘lifelong learner’
Solution: Enquiry-Based Learning = + subject matter + scholarship + teamwork + digital/information literacies

• Focus group• Reflective journal entries• Reflective assignment• Module marks• Observation
Feedback used for future development
student reflective logs and assignments:
catalyst
Digital Den?
d) Themes
1. Challenging preconceptions

Which of the 3 themes does it/they exemplify? Can you think of any other themes?
• Pair: discuss the above with your pair (or in 3s), write any new theme on sheet of paper
• Share: be ready to report back to whole group
Think-Pair-Share : Discussion• Other themes? • Theme 1: Challenging preconceptions (1-5)• Theme 2: Wizard and Apprentice (11)• Theme 3: Re-exploring landscape (6-10)
Conclusion• Strong evidence of student [digital] learning • Future: scaling up; digital champions
• Shared an EBL model (explicit IL/DL)• Value = Academic + Library + eLearning Unit
