| //Include some variety// - just having a [[tour]] or a [[workbook]] or a click and go online experience will probably not stimulate the users into learning. Include a number of activities and stimuli. Take into account different learning styles by having text, images, audio-visual etc wherever possible although too much will disguise the message. | //Include some variety// - just having a [[tour]] or a [[workbook]] or a click and go online experience will probably not stimulate the users into learning.

| - | //Make it active// - this isn't always easy as you might not have the appropriate environment or equipment. However, even in a lecture theatre it is possible to involve the learners by asking them to brainstorm or by involving one of them in keyboarding for you (see [[demonstrations]]). | + | //Make it active// - this isn't always easy as you might not have the appropriate environment or equipment.

| - | //Make it challenging// - any learning experience should challenge the learner. It can be difficult to make inductions challenging but anything that requires the learner to practise or achieve something shouldn't be so easy as to be worthless. This doesn't mean that anyone should fail at it but it should test their understanding and seem worthwhile. Students could be asked to find a book in their own subject and issue it to themselves on the self service machines. They can then choose to keep it on their ticket or return it immediately on the same machine. This isn't too challenging but is almost certainly something new to them which makes it. It also means that we are sure that they can all use the machines (station helpers near to them to make sure that support is there).[[http://uk.bestessays.com|custom essays]] | + | //Make it challenging// - any learning experience should challenge the learner.

| - | //Make it relevant// - no-one likes to do things for the sake of it. If learners can see a point to their activity then they are more likely to have the [[motivation]] to carry it through. Provide a rationale for the tasks and reinforce this in as many ways as possible (paper, speech etc) | + | //Make it relevant// - no-one likes to do things for the sake of it.

| //Make it a performance// - this doesn't mean that you should try to be flamboyant if you aren't naturally, or that you should transform yourself into a stand-up comic. It does mean that for your learners it will probably be their first use of the library so regardless of whether it is your first or last induction of the day make sure that you are giving your best. Describing it as a performance can scare people but it is surely appropriate when people are watching you, however interactive you make it. A facilitator is still conducting the performance of the group. | //Make it a performance// - this doesn't mean that you should try to be flamboyant if you aren't naturally, or that you should transform yourself into a stand-up comic.
