Abstract

A panel of instruction librarians from the University of Southern California (USC) will present on the use of improvisational techniques applied to library instruction. Humor is often mentioned in the literature as one form of active learning that increases immediacy, and therefore engagement, retention, and learning in the classroom. Panelists will share a practical application of this concept by drawing on the training they received from a real-life improvisational coach in the entertainment business.
