Event Title: Intermediate Instructional Design for Information Literacy

Top 3 things learned:

1. How to garner useful feedback regarding instruction

2. How to evolve a program based on that feedback

3. How to apply design thinking in a "one-shot" learning setting

How to implement:
I have been implementing design thinking in my job clinics
since I took the course. I've found it very useful in the sense that my work
is very one-on-one there, and I am better able to tailor the instruction to
that individual's needs. It's helped me think outside the box and abandon
the "one size fits all" approach that I had been using that I now realize
wasn't helping my patrons as much as I'd hoped. In particular, it's really
helped me to establish exactly what help a patron needs and for my resume
patrons, to determine what types of qualities their resume should reflect.
Additional learning: I would like to learn more about how to implement design
thinking in a group setting. It's one thing to use it in a one-shot setting
with 1 or 2 people, quite another in a one-shot larger group.
