Campus-wide partnerships to improve students’ academic integrity iQ
Get PDFMiami University’s iQ (short for integrity Quickstart) is a newly created online tutorial that guides students through different scenarios about academic integrity and research issues. Each scenario introduces the student to a new topic with animated Flash video, additional resources and short quizzes to assess their understanding. iQ was created through a partnership between the Libraries, University IT and Student Affairs. Instructional designers from IT helped us to transform the content into short video-based snippets. The presentation tools from Prezi.com give iQ its visually appealing, non-linear structure. Additionally, staff from Student Affairs help us to tailor the content on academic integrity and consequences for violation. Numerous challenges were encountered to ensure that the end product was something exemplary of Miami’s commitment to these topics.
This poster will cover the creation and implementation of iQ at Miami University. We will discuss how iQ works as both a standalone learning tool and as part of a bibliographic information session and how campus partnerships can help foster institutional buy-in for academic integrity and information literacy

Spanning the University to Improve Information Literacy e-Instruction
Get PDFIn Fall 2009, the interactive information literacy module "integrity Quickstart"(iQ) was introduced to first and second-year students at Miami University. iQ, which teaches information literacy and academic integrity concepts using the dynamic Flash-based presentation tool Prezi, is a companion to the existing eScholar, a more passive, in-depth tutorial.
iQ was created through a unique campus collaboration between the Libraries, University IT and Student Affairs. This session will recount the creation and implementation of iQ, everything from scripting and storyboarding to grant support and dealing with differences of opinion involved with any collaboration. We will discuss how iQ and eScholar work together as part of a bibliographic information session and how campus partnerships can help foster institutional buy-in for academic integrity and information literacy

Get PDFJoining forces with Faculty to Foster Information Literacy Best Practices in the Classroom
No full textFaculty often are frustrated by the quality of student research, including low scholarly resource use and lack of evaluation skills. Miami University (Oxford, OH) has created a faculty learning community (comprised of both faculty and librarians) to explore the above concerns during the course of an academic year. During the first semester, faculty discovered the information literacy skills of their students via survey tools, focus groups, and class observation. Disturbed by the results, faculty began work on a “best practices” list for bringing information literacy skills into the classroom. This poster will detail the process, successes, and future prospects for this project
