About DLC Instruction

Providing instruction and collaborating with faculty is a major component in helping achieve the DLC mission. The goal is to help faculty enhance their courses so students are developing critical thinking, research, and technical skills.

Utilizing the DLC will help your students create better research projects, provide an engaging and active learning environment, and expose them to alternative ways of presenting information. How you use the DLC depends on your course needs and projects. We can provide support for your courses through many different avenues such as direct instruction, team teaching, or simply providing the space and resources. For descriptions and examples of past DLC instruction, visit our examples page.

The Digital Learning Collaboratory offers a unique instructional area, which seats about 25 students. Use of the instructional area includes:

25 wireless laptops
Instructor’s laptop and projector
Reconfigurable desks for multiple seating arrangements
Mimeo white board capture device
Access to collaboration rooms

Scheduling the DLC for instruction session(s) requires that your course match the DLC’s mission by incorporating both information and technical literacy. Most courses already incorporate both of these aspects, so a consultation session with the Information Integration Librarian and/or the DLC Coordinator will help you identify which components of your course can or do meet the mission. Please use the request form to setup a consultation.
