dc.description.abstractMaking library instruction interactive and engaging is no easy feat, and assessment of the standard one-shot visit can be difficult. Librarians need a simple and fast method for evaluation of learning. The one-minute paper is an effective way to generate immediate feedback from students, but student responses often consist of “everything seemed clear” or other vague statements. We decided to try to repurpose this widely-used technique by incorporating a visual imagery tool. Wordle (http://www.wordle.net) offered an active and entertaining method for soliciting responses from students and assessing what they learned during library instruction sessions by the creation of word clouds.en_US
