On behalf of Digital Library Pedagogy working group, I’m pleased to present the newly published #DLFteach Toolkit 1.0: Lesson Plans for Digital Library Instruction. You can find it at https://dlfteach.pubpub.org/toolkit.

This openly available, peer-reviewed collection of lesson plans and concrete instructional strategies is the result of a project led by the professional development and resource sharing subgroup. This publication emerged from #DLFteach workshops, office hours, Twitter chats, and open meetings. Community members and digital pedagogy practitioners expressed interest in lesson plans and session outlines which they could use as a jumping-off point for their own instruction and adapt for local contexts.

All lessons include learning goals, preparation, and a session outline. Additional materials — including slides, handouts, assessments, and datasets — are hosted in the DLF OSF repository as well as linked from each lesson. Download slides to see notes for presenters, and data that is too large to render in preview. There you will also find markdown versions of each lesson plan for you to use.

The final product includes 21 open, peer-reviewed lesson plans in the areas of:
Critical Information Literacy & Digital Publishing
Data & Maps
Project Development & Management
Text Analysis & (En)coding
Digital Exhibits & Archives

To those attending the Forum next month, some of the #DLFteach working group will be leading a session on the Pedagogy of Digital Publishing on Monday as part of Learn@DLF and an open working lunch on Tuesday. Please come by if you’d like to learn more, teach more, or get involved!

Sincerely,

Liz Rodrigues & Erin Pappas, Co-editors, #DLFteach Toolkit 1.0
