Abstract
Active learning strategies are a prominent method of instruction designed to encourage learner engagement through concrete application of concepts and deep reflection to facilitate meaningful learning experiences for library professionals. Despite documented benefits, however, there is limited published literature on the implementation of active learning to user experience (UX) instruction. In this paper, we provide an example of our approach to active learning within the context of a guerrilla testing instructional workshop for library staff using a four-step lesson plan identifying tasks; writing scenarios; running tests; analyzing results). We focus attention on the importance of small group work, the role of facilitators in providing participant support, and the use of self-reflection as central aspects of the workshop design. Sample active learning strategies are highlighted throughout along with key lessons learned and recommended improvements for future workshops tailored to library contexts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
