How many of you have heard of
David Loertscher's Virtual Learning
Commons?
![Page 5: Virtual Presence for the School Library](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54635573af79599b048b61e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

So, how is a Virtual Learning Commons
different from a traditional library
website?
![Page 7: Virtual Presence for the School Library](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54635573af79599b048b61e4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In order to make the shift from library website to Virtual Learning Commons, a
sense of community needs to be fostered and
developed among all stakeholders.
With the advent of new technologies that allow for the real-time participation
and collaboration of users in an online community, the opportunity presents
itself for the VLC to become the 'infrastructure' of the school (Loertscher
& Koechlin, 2012), to transform itself from informational website to participative
community.

Teachers’ Participation, Creation, & Learning

Students’ Participation, Creation, & Learning

Stakeholders’ Participation, Creation, & Learning
![Page 11: Virtual Presence for the School Library](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54635573af79599b048b61e4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Dr. Weimar and Dr. Perry created a survey using SurveyMonkey.
• We posted the survey link to the SHSU Library Student Listserv, TLC, LM_Net, Facebook, and Twitter.
• We received 200 responses.
How did we come up with the examples for this presentation?
![Page 12: Virtual Presence for the School Library](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54635573af79599b048b61e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What would your ideal virtual presence look like? What should it contain?
What should teachers/students/parents have access to?
Is your library website easily accessed from the school’s website? If not, who do you speak to to fix that?
Can your website accommodate multiple pages? If not, how will you provide the access needed?
Turn and Talk
![Page 13: Virtual Presence for the School Library](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54635573af79599b048b61e4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why should you provide a Virtual Learning Commons for
your teachers/students/parents?
• We need to encourage collaboration to prepare students for the future.
• We need to make learning accessible in order to provide for “on-the-fly learning” and transform students into self-starters.

The Information Center• The landing page.
• Links users to useful tools.
• Features a “hook” in the center of the page to draw users to the entire site. (photo slideshow, club info, screencast tutorials, links to blog, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites)
• Calendar of events or for teachers to reserve space/equipment.

what you can do.
