It’s HIP to be Square: Instruction, High-Impact Practices, & the Framework

Instructional design for librarians is often dictated by outside constraints. Librarians teaching semester-long courses as the primary instructor have an opportunity to develop unique instructional design methods to engage students. Using concepts related to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, High Impact Practices (HIPs), inclusive pedagogy related to Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and instructional design methods derived from user experience (UX) research, I have developed an innovative variation for our university’s Introduction to Information Literacy curriculum.
