Conference presentation
Asynchronous online library instruction for first year experience during the pandemic
Teaching, Learning, & Technology Conference 2022, 6th (Virtual, 05/17/2022–05/18/2022)

Abstract
In this session I will outline the university libraries' pilot project creating an asynchronous program for library instruction for students in the First Year Experience cohort during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this project librarians developed Canvas modules addressing major topics in information literacy to provide a baseline for incoming students who may not have had sufficient experience with library to be successful in college classes. Each module included assessments, and after successful completion received a badge that they could share with instructors showing that their mastery of the topics. The goal was to gamify instruction, provide a portable credential to students, and to supplement in-person or synchronous instruction in our "Classes for the Masses" library instruction sessions. In addition to explaining the pilot and its theoretical basis, we will discuss successes and failures of the program and its expansion during a second year.
