Feedback (Response) Research Tools Test Results Research Libraries Engineering Librarians Curriculum Lifelong Learning Case Studies Web Sites Editing Collaborative Writing Higher Education Undergraduate Students Engineering Education Technology Accreditation (Institutions) College Faculty Learning Experience Information Literacy Outcomes of Education Man Machine Systems Usability This article reports the results of a case study in which an experimental wiki knowledge base was designed, developed, and tested by the Brill Science Library at Miami University for an undergraduate engineering senior capstone project. The wiki knowledge base was created to determine if the science library could enhance the engineering literature research experience of a senior capstone class in an innovative manner. In doing so a precedent was set for supporting all of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences accreditation efforts to promote the life-long learning outcome. The results of a usability test are also reported. Wiki development is discussed, test results are analyzed, and design modification needs are identified. User feedback indicates the library-generated online research tool offers a dynamic and practical means for engineering librarians to promote their collections and the value of life-long learning. Implications for technology librarians and related research are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.) |
