crl-24916	Charles, Leslin H.; DeFabiis, William	Closing the Transactional Distance in an Online Graduate Course through the Practice of Embedded Librarianship	2021-05-01	19	.pdf	application/pdf	8150	375	41	Using Michael G. Moore’s three relational distances existing in the online environment—“teacher-student,” “student-student,” “student-course content”—the authors added two areas—”instructor-librarian” and “student-librarian”—that can close the transactional distance in online courses. This is reflected in the literature that covers undergraduate25 and graduate students.26 Notably, the literature high- lights the need to look at the role of the librarian in online courses, how students interact with librarians, and assessment of this practice in various contexts.27 Alverson et al. focus on the need for authentic assessment of student work to determine the impact of embedded librarian- ship on student learning.28 Further, the need to look at this practice “particularly examining the student interactions with content (instructional materials), librarian, and fellow students for their information literacy needs” was raised by Heathcock.29 374 College & Research Libraries May 2021 To reduce TD, the literature encourages the instructor to consider four types of interac- tion: “student-student,” “student-content,” “student-instructor,” “student-interface (course structure).”	cache/crl-24916.pdf	txt/crl-24916.txt
