Librarians’ classroom experience confirmed that the students were more enthusiastic about blended online active learning than paper-based or lecture style learning strategies. The evaluations and personal comments from students indicated that they liked the active learning but also appreciated being able to ask questions or discuss information face-to-face with their peers/TA’s/librarians. This was demonstrated when the students gave each other high fives and commented in a positive way at the end of a session. On the evaluations and in conversations with the students, they frequently mentioned the collaborative nature of the workshop. Here are a few comments from the evaluations “The TA/librarian help was useful, and being able to work in a group environment was too”; “I liked the time available to ask questions”; “I liked the hands-on way of teaching us how to look for the right journals/articles.” The students’ enthusiasm was motivation for the instructors and TA’s too.
