Show Me: Performance-Focused Assessment in One-Shot Instruction
Abstract
This presentation was delivered at SCIL Works 2026: Assessment is Constructed and Contextual: Measuring What Matters in Information Literacy, February 2026.
Instruction librarians rarely have access to the student course work needed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a workshop or assess student learning as a result of a one shot instruction session. In this session, we will demonstrate how we have effectively gathered actionable student output from a library instruction session in order to make meaningful changes to instruction content (assessment) and/or delivery (evaluation) using Google Forms. We will have examples of how we have done this for tutorial content and curriculum-integrated one-shot workshops, ranging from small capstone courses to large (300+ students) writing program courses.
