The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries invites
you to attend its 2016 Visiting Scholar program on Thursday, April 21, 2016,
beginning at 10:00 a.m. on the second floor of Love Library South, Room 218. The
library is hosting three speakers from Purdue University who are affiliated
with the Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT)
program at Purdue University. The IMPACT program is a collaborative campus
program that was launched in December 2010 by the Provost’s Office. The goal of
IMPACT “is to achieve a greater student-centered learning environment by
incorporating active and collaborative learning as well as other
student-centered teaching and learning practices and technologies into large
enrollment foundational courses.” Over 200 courses have been redesigned since
the program’s inception.
Clarence Maybee, Assistant Professor of Library
Science and the Libraries’ IMPACT coordinator, will give the keynote address
from 10:00 am – 11:30 am. In the afternoon (2:00 pm – 3:30 pm), he will be
joined by his colleagues, Catherine Fraser Riehle and Michael Flierl, for a
panel discussion. Catherine Fraser Riehle is an Associate Professor of Library
Science and is a liaison librarian for communication, human development and
family studies, and women’s studies. She has served as a member of various
IMPACT teams since 2011. She has conducted classroom research with some of the
instructors she has worked with in the program. Michael Flierl is the Purdue
University Libraries' Information Literacy Instructional Designer. He works
with instructors as well as on programmatic aspects of IMPACT.
