Abstract
At the School of Nursing, University of Wisconsin-Madison, librarians and clinical faculty are working collaboratively to produce Web-based learning modules. The collaboration resulted in four Web-based learning objects, including a virtual tour of the library Web site and three assignment-centered tutorials. Modules are short (15 minutes), focused on specific learning objectives and easily accessible on and off -campus. They are embedded in an online course environment and free librarians to provide more customized instruction to classes upon request. This poster presentation will demonstrate sections of the four modules, explain the development process, how modules currently support School of Nursing curriculum and outline implications for future development.
