One of the best ways to design and deliver engaging and relevant training sessions is to use relevant and genuine content and examples. Using content and examples that are aligned with the learning outcomes, the audience, and the preferences of the group. Whether that is direction from the academic who may have scheduled the session or the student group who tell you want they want to get out the session. You should always use content and examples that are current, accurate, and credible, as well as being diverse and inclusive. By using relevant and practical content and examples, you can make your training content or sessions more meaningful, relevant, and appropriate for your audience. You should provide opportunities for your audience to participate, interact, and reflect on their learning from the session, to enhance engagement and retention. You should evaluate your training sessions by collecting and analysing data on the quality, relevance, and impact of your training, as well as on the satisfaction and performance of your training. Of course, we all know that there is a difference between knowing what to do and doing it. Some of the doing is out of our control, especially when it comes to gathering feedback for evaluation purposes.

Applying UDL to online library instruction means creating instruction and learning materials that take account of everyone's differences, preferences and abilities. The aim of library instruction (whether online or face-to-face) is to teach information literacy and research skills. Information literacy skills include the ability to find, retrieve, evaluate, store, manage and to reuse information to create new knowledge or solve problems. Why UDL? Well, UDL provides us with a variety of strategies and resources to help meet diverse learning needs, improve accessibility to learning opportunities, and increase student success.
The primary goal of Library Instruction is to teach information literacy and research skills that develop independent and lifelong learning skills that can be utilized beyond the college experience. Welcoming flexibility in delivering library training and instructional materials along with offering multiple ways for students to express themselves and demonstrate their knowledge can only make for a better more engaging learning environment and improved student success. Digital collections allow institutions to put collections or a selection of materials in the spotlight. Thing 7 was not an easy task.... but here it is...
