Electronic Classroom Policies & Procedures
|
The primary purpose of the Electronic Classroom is the teaching of bibliographic instruction sessions by Library faculty members.
All Exceptions are subject to approval by the University Librarian in consultation with the Policies & Procedures Committee.
- Until such time as a reliable online schedule fully accessible to all instruction participants is found or devised, the schedule for the Electronic Classroom will be kept in a hardcopy calendar at the Reference Desk. No scheduling is to be considered official until the class is logged into the hardcopy schedule; no faculty member has the right to displace another faculty member on the schedule without his/her express permission.
- Classes are scheduled through theCollection Development Librarian, Bill
Richards (gary.austin@gcsu.edu or x0987), using the online form at /library/instruct/form.html, or by contacting the subject liaison for the academic department. A listing of current liasions is located at /library/techserv/liaisons.html.
- When not in use for a class, the Electronic Classroom is off-limits to anyone other than library staff & faculty and should remain locked.
- Class instructor responsibilities are :
- ensure that the computers/equipment are on and operable at the beginning of a session
- ensure that the computers/equipment are turned off at the end of a session
- ensure the room is locked before leaving
- Classes or workshops dealing with library instruction are given first priority for use of the Electronic Classroom. The classroom is available for reservation to other campus groups for one time use within 1 week of the event (contact Coordinator of Instruction for reservation details). Campus groups wishing to reserve the room on a regular, ongoing basis must receive prior permission from the University Librarian.
- There will be a tray on the Instructor's Desk in the Classroom containing three forms for use in all Bibliographic Instruction sessions.
- The first form is an evaluation sheet to be filled out by all students attending the sessions;
- The second form is to be completed by the faculty member who requested the session. (Both forms will be used to gauge the effectiveness of the instructor, satisfaction with the content, suggestions for improvement, and other assessment measures for the Instruction program.)
- The third form, to be completed by the librarian teaching the session, will include the date, time, professor, class title, number of students attending the class. The Coordinator of Instruction will compile this information for statistical use.
