some things to consider…

some questions…

what is the information world that our community live in?

how do we encourage good habits & healthy choices in information consumption?

how do we match graduate skills with employer needs & expectations?

how do we prepare students as information problem solvers?

how do we create learning experiences that are dynamic, relevant, engaging and fun?

what do you already know about the IL experience? good points? pain points? what do you need to be aware of for the future?

challenges? opportunities? any themes and insights?

experience principles

persona keep asking: what are they trying to achieve? what do they need?

create a problem question make it juicy & actionable

how might who what so that

why?

example

how might an engineering post graduate student find relevant

and credible information quickly so that time on work is limited as

they have a full time job and a small baby?

how might who what so that why? based on the persona, need and insight
