Adapting an Active Learning Library Research Session to Online Zoom Rooms

During the spring of 2021, I was able to adapt an in-class activity to an online format using a flipped classroom technique for an honors course learning about library research. The class was given a slide with database questions and features, and students were sent into various Zoom rooms to collaborate on the database for about 10 minutes. They then came back to the main room to share what they learned, and why they might use a particular database in their researching. I also included space for a brief reflection on what students learned during this process.
