Library Resources for Faculty

Working with NSCC Librarians

The NSCC Librarians are here to help!

We can work with you to find content and materials to flip your class. We can create Libguides with instructional materials and links to content for your students. We can create "how-to" videos on how to use our resources and conduct research.

Biology - Cell Division and Growth

For this lesson, we will look at the cell. Please watch the video segments on Cell Division and Mitosis, take notes and prepare a response to the discussion questions (posted in Blackboard) for class. You will be expected to participate in a class discussion on this topic.

Observation Skills for Occupational Therapists

evaluation

Exceptional skills in observation and assessment, traits shared by master clinicians, can be learned and developed by occupational therapists and physical therapists.  

Skilled observation begins the moment you see your patient and continues throughout every treatment session. Skilled physical therapists and occupational therapists more readily identify key impairments, determine therapeutic goals, effectively document incremental functional changes and implement a more therapeutic plan of intervention.

Watch the videos on evaluation in occupational and physical therapy from the ICE database. You will participate in a role-playing activity where you will evaluate a "patient" using the techniques demonstrated in these videos.

Ideas for Flipping the Classroom with Library Resources Examples

The Library has access to great resources that you can use to flip your class. Here are a couple of examples of ways we've flipped some lessons.

Jigsaw Assignment

In class, we will discuss the epic "Beowulf" and the early history of Christianity. 

Prepare: Please read the chapters and articles below for your group before class. 

Group: Each group is responsible for one of the readings (groups were assigned in class). Y ou will be the teacher! In class, your group will explain how your reading handles the topic of Christianity in Beowulf. 

Discuss: Consider these questions when reading your article:

  • What Christian symbolism is represented in Beowulf?
  • How did Christianity handle the Pagan beliefs of earlier religions?

Take note of examples of these concepts in your reading. You will have time at the beginning of class to meet in your group and decide how you will present your reading.
