A brief guide

Facebook Live (FBL)

Basically the more popular competitor to Periscope from Twitter.

The Library Story

https://www.facebook.com/OULibrary/

Slide7

Training in the OU Library

The Library Story

1 hour training sessions using Blackboard Collaborate

Facebook chats

Facebook live

Face to face training (very rarely)

Events which raise the profile of the library and student awareness

Slide8

What we’ve found...

Why Facebook for the Library?

Many more students attend Facebook live events and Facebook chats than attend Webinar training

Easy for students (and us!) to use

Content generated in Facebook Live can be used elsewhere

You can add captions to improve accessibility

Slide9

Ok, so there are some negatives

There are some downsides...

Not specifically designed for teaching

Interacting with large numbers of students is hard

Have limited information about those that attend

Unclear how long students stay in the session

Not all students are happy using Facebook as a learning tool

We think we reach non library users with Facebook but we can’t be sure

Short 5-10 min sessions, two patterns attempted (once a week, and five evenings)

The OUCisco Story

Moving on … we also support a community of Cisco Academies … 59 to be exact

We help teach teachers to teach network engineering

Project:

Free CCNA1 … 1130 signed up (970 still active)

We needed an external non-OU tool that scaled and did not have any ‘membership’ requirements

Weekly webinars via a Facebook Page … FBL sessions late afternoon, every Mondayhttps://www.facebook.com/OpenUniversityCiscoASC/
