In most columns, I described an assignment. Then, a current or former student who had completed the assignment summarized his or her experience. In a few cases, I provided minimal discussion on how I evaluated student work. For example, in reviewing reflective essays, I mentioned that I “assess[ed] them on the basis of strong writing, detail, and organization” (Roy & Gaylord, 2015). I “evaluate[d] questions [students] ask[ed], considering whether they [were] well designed, reasonable, and realistic” (Roy & Gaylord, 2015). While those comments are logical, they offer an incomplete view of the role of evaluation: they only open the door to additional student questions regarding how to complete an assignment and, more importantly from their standpoint, how to do well and receive a positive grade. Student evaluation is not an easy topic to address but it is essential in ensuring that students have confidence in their abilities and that they feel fairly treated by their instructor. The topic of this column, then, is to look at how to evaluate student work in a reference class.","PeriodicalId":35386,"journal":{"name":"Reference Librarian","volume":"59 1","pages":"65 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02763877.2017.1412100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43147630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current literature on MOOCs, covering research relating to its effectiveness to accommodate different students’ abilities showed conflicting results in this regard. With limited studies on MOOCs’ effectiveness in Malaysian higher education, this study explored current opportunities, challenges, and solutions of using MOOC in the Malaysian higher education institutions. Instructors from various teaching backgrounds were interviewed to respond to these concerns. The study found that the major challenges faced by instructors when using MOOC were redundancy, lack of facilities and exposure, incompetent knowledge in MOOC course design and development, and insufficient leadership and capacity-building programmes. Therefore, possible solutions to these challenges were identified and discussed. These findings can help the policy makers explore strategies for the future development, implementation and success of MOOC in the context of higher education in Malaysia.

The role information plays in the society cannot be overemphasized. Information is required for individual, institution and societal development. Hence, efforts must be expended to acquire the right information in a world where information is being produced exponentially with almost no control. Accessing the right information is vital for any form of development hence the academic libraries’ role in ensuring an effective delivery of the right information to their users. Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) service is one of the means through which libraries achieve this. The study investigates SDI service adoption and use by academics at Redeemer’s University, Nigeria. Statistics kept in the Reference Unit of the library were used to elicit information used for analysis. Sixty-sis (66) out of a total of 135 academics working in the institution at the time the statistics were taken were used for analysis. The study reveals that majority of the academics who sought SDI service were staff of the college of Management Sciences. The study reveals that majority of the academics sought SDI service for the purpose of research. Comments of users from records kept in the unit shows that users’ information needs were adequately satisfied. Users’ comments also reveal areas of improvement on the service. Recommendations geared towards the improvement of SDI service in the university library were given based on the conclusion drawn.","PeriodicalId":35386,"journal":{"name":"Reference Librarian","volume":"59 1","pages":"56 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02763877.2017.1410752","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46051165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
