Through the summer, the DDRF curriculum working group has been working with their partners at Lafayette College, Northwestern University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to adapt and refine the draft curriculum used in the spring 2016 pilot workshops for events at each of the project institutions this fall. While the workshops will remain fairly consistent from institution-to-institution, there will be slight modifications based on such factors as workshop length and anticipated audience. By teaching another round of pilot workshops this semester, we will be able to better gauge both how well-suited the teaching materials are for different groups of attendees and how easily they can be re-taught by other librarians.
We’ll ask each institution to report back on their experience teaching DDRF workshops this fall and publish their responses here!
