Instructional Activities and Events

The User Experience Librarian reports these in several different buckets, as of Spring 2016.

• University Factbook: "Instructional" sessions
• IPEDS: all presentations to groups (include tours, discussion groups, any event)
• Provost: "Instructional" sessions (teaching a skill), tours, library programs

Using our internal Podio categories "Instructional" sessions are:

• Any custom workshops (from Consultations & Custom Workshops app)
• Any events (from Events app) categorized as
  • working group
  • informational/demo presentation
  • hands-on practicum workshop
  • extended workshop

Data Definitions

Reading/discussion groups: Event where the primary task is discussion among the group, rather than a presentation by a single person

• NB: this is the default category for DH Open Office hours and Encoder Reading Group, though special occurrences of those meetings may move into other categories

Working groups: Event where the primary task is hands-on work on a theme, usually led by a single person but with the expectation that most activity is hands-on and done in a peer environment

Informational/demo presentation: Event where a single person gives a largely demonstration-based lecture. Examples include:

• Special visitors to DH Open Office Hours with a prepared and scripted presentation
• Brief "learn about Zotero" or "learn about the DRS" sessions for Open Access October

Hands-on practicum workshop: Event where the expectation is that attendees create something with hands-on work. Generally more than one hour.
