Student Responses to Fashion LibGuide Projects
Abstract
LibGuides are a sharing platform used as a collaborative tool for both LIS professionals and teaching faculty to facilitate the co-creation and sharing of open education resources (OER) online. OER is anexcellent resource for the fashion discipline that relies on costly textbooks and students become the co-creators of their own knowledge through using open pedagogy. This case study showcases a LibGuide based open pedagogical fashion assignment. Eleven student groups were divided up by decades (e.g., 1900s,1910s, 1920s, and so forth up to the 2000s). A Fashion History LibGuide was developed to feature a Fashion History timeline created by students, and afterwards, students took a survey on their perceptions of open projects. The results were that the majority of 54 participants perceived a better educational value from this assignment. Also, students felt this project helped them become collaborative learners, critical thinkers, problem solvers, and helped with more effective learning.
