“…The literature on the use of Google Forms is predominantly geared toward being a worthwhile tool when it comes to surveying and assessment (Rodriguez, 2018). Koury and Jardine (2013) suggest that Google Forms can be used effectively to assess students. Rodriguez (2018) notes that it enables the instructor to provide immediate feedback to students.…”

Teachers of students with emotional and behavioral disorders often struggle with increasing student participation while maintaining a positive classroom environment. Active student responding (ASR) occurs when a student says, writes, or engages in some observable response following a question. This article identifies and describes three electronic approaches to ASR and provides teachers with tips for effective implementation with students with emotional and behavioral disorders.

“…Regina Koury and Spencer Jardine's (2013) article "Library Instruction in a cloud: perspectives from the trenches" also offers us a review of a new format for delivering information literacy skills to students. (Koury & Jardine, 2013) The authors review the use of web based software such as Google Apps and Zoho for creating library instruction modules. The article examines the trials and tribulations and strong case for both developing, with little or no technical costs to institutions, library classes and using the software to effectively disseminate lessons, information and advice to other institutions looking to develop similar instruction programs.…”

Well-developed research skills are essential to our student's educational success. For a generation that will create more information than was created by all those who came before them access to information is not an issue, at least for those on the access side of the digital divide. However as that wealth of information grows so does the need for the skill sets that allows one to pull the drops of needed information from the ocean that they have available to search. Students, who have not known a world without Google, smart phones, and abundant wireless internet access, often feel their research skills are good enough but usually fail, not in the search for information, but in the ability to determine what the best information is and how to find it most efficiently. Online library research classes are one of the best methods for providing students with the skills they need to succeed. Designing, implementing, and teaching library research classes allows librarians to communicate research skills that meet our students at their point of need. This paper will provide an examination of the benefits for students, libraries and faculty in providing these classes, an overview on how they can be structured to meet the information literacy needs of any student and basic information on how to create library research classes at any institution of higher education.

“…Librarians have been quick to make use of free and ever-expanding cloud tools, though mainly for the purpose of using them as a component of pedagogical strategy. For example, Koury and Jardine (2013) highlight the potential of using free or inexpensive cloud-based tools for organizing instruction content, creating learning tutorials, and collaboration, scheduling and storage (Koury and Jardine, 2013). Unfortunately for coordinators of instruction, the "scheduling" section of the paper describes the use of Doodle for arranging meetings.…”

From request to assess: using cloud-based tools for the library instruction lifecycle

Purpose The author first gained experience with library instruction scheduling at a large research university library as an Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) graduate assistant. Design/methodology/approach The author would occasionally shadow the faculty librarians as they received instruction requests, which were vetted by an administrative assistant and entered into some mystical technology that would facilitate the reservations and populate a library staff calendar. Findings The author remembers it as a fairly mundane process that he did not think much of at the time. Social implications The author soon became an instruction librarian who was put in charge of orchestrating the multitudes of course-integrated one-shots at a small, private four-year liberal arts college. Originality/value The author thinks back to this experience and marvels at the humble instructional requests (e.g. “just show them JSTOR”) and the primitive tool that their library used for scheduling their sessions: a spreadsheet on our network drive.
