Instructor Notes
Lesson Facilitation Tips
- Instructors are encouraged to teach the lesson on a PC. Best attempts have been made to add instructor notes where the Mac UI and functionality of MarcEdit differs.
- This lesson does not account for introduction time. If teaching this lesson as a standalone workshop, allot additional time for Library Carpentry overview and other icreaker introductions.
- When taught by two instructors, a natural split for handoff is lesson 7, with the first instructor teaching lessons 1-6, and the second teaching 7-10,
- It is suggested you provide ample set up support prior to the lesson to ensure learners have MarcEdit installed and the data file downloaded. Offering a set up drop-in an hour ahead of lesson to support MarcEdit installation/troubleshooting makes the rest of the lesson run much more smoothly.
- If teaching this workshop online, opening a zoom breakout room at the start of the worksh is helpful for troubleshooting as required.
- When teaching online, emphasize that having a second screen is ideal for this workshop. Sharing a single-screen layout at the start of the lesson will support those who do not have access to a second screen.
JJ notes for UMich branch
A new dataset was added in March 2024. Some questions or discussion points may have changed to reflect the new dataset, but there may be minor errors or revisions that JJ did not catch in updating the lesson.
