Abstract

For enhancing skills related to information literacy instruction in the digital age, we developed an education program for academic librarians, based on knowledge of learning science and educational technology. We evaluated the program in practice and discovered that: 1) Academic librarians want to acquire basic knowledge of learning science and instructional design, 2) Lectures about theory alone are insufficient, but the combination of theory with practical workshops is effective for promoting the integration of participants’ knowledge, and 3) Some practical examples support understanding of the theory.
