From attending a wide variety of sessions, we have amassed lots of interesting references to papers, ongoing works, reports and books that can inform our thoughts on IL.
Just a few examples, Project Deep, NSSE, Engage ME or Enrage ME, the Boyer Report, the Spelling Report, the CIBER report, Mind the Skills gap, Digital Citizenship, Marc Prensky and Derek Bok.
One of the best things about Lilac is this....the sharing of knowledge and practives and having a greater appreciation of IL and how it informs my practice within the Learning Centre.

10 minutes of interactions: bize sized IL
Presented by University of Leeds.
Problems identified with existing online provision:
Text heavy content
Navigation inconsistent
External links can lead you astray
Length and depth of resources can be intimidating
Problem with layout not content, felt there was a missing link
To address the issue, a learning technologist was brought into the project, and these steps were taken:
Created 3 learning objects which focussed upon tasks
Removed unecessary content
Team created to look oversee project
Project took 1 year and was broken down into different sections each with their own deadline
The learning objects included a quiz to begin, to test the knowledge of the student using it, so they can see what they will be learning immediately. A test is included at the end also to assess learning from the object.
The learning objects also included tasks for students, for example building a reference, where they can see where they have immediately gone wrong. Different types of task helped different learning styles to engage with the learning objects.
Promotion:
A webpage for students
An event for academic staff
Marketing to students using leaflets, displays and workshops
The project team is now working on evaluation of the project and future plans. Further promotion will be one of these plans and more integration into Blackboard.
