1 Face-to-face instruction

Face-to-face instruction is the traditional mode of library instruction, where the instructor and the users interact in person in a classroom or a library space. This type of instruction can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on whether it is delivered live or recorded. Face-to-face instruction is an effective way to engage users, demonstrate skills, and provide feedback. To make the most of this method, it is important to plan the session according to the learning outcomes, audience, and time available. Additionally, active learning strategies like hands-on exercises, discussions, and quizzes should be used to involve the users and check their understanding. Visual aids such as slides, posters, or handouts can also be used to support verbal delivery and reinforce key points. Finally, questions and feedback should be encouraged from the users to address their concerns and challenges.

2 Online instruction

Online instruction is the mode of library instruction where the instructor and the users communicate and interact through a digital platform, such as a website, a learning management system, or a video conferencing tool. This form of instruction can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on whether it is delivered live or recorded. It is convenient for reaching a larger and more diverse audience, especially when social distancing or remote learning is necessary. When providing online instruction, it is best to design the instruction according to principles of online learning like clarity, consistency, interactivity, and accessibility. Incorporating multimedia elements like audio, video, images, or animations can help to enhance the presentation and engagement with the content. Additionally, online tools like polls, chats, or forums can be used to facilitate communication and collaboration between users and instructors. Lastly, feedback and support should be given to users while their progress and performance should be monitored.

3 Blended instruction

Blended instruction is a mode of library instruction that combines face-to-face and online elements, such as a flipped classroom, a hybrid course, or a blended learning module. This type of instruction can be tailored to the needs and preferences of the users, the instructor, and the environment, while also taking advantage of the benefits and minimizing the drawbacks of both face-to-face and online modes. To ensure successful blended instruction, it's important to align the face-to-face and online components with the learning outcomes, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. Additionally, it’s important to create a balanced workload for both users and instructors across both components. Furthermore, integrating the face-to-face and online components is essential for creating a cohesive learning experience. Finally, evaluating the effectiveness of blended instruction is important for making adjustments as needed.
