Get PDFOutside The Box: An Information Literacy Course Web2.0 Project
At Georgia Southwestern State University, “Foundations of Information Literacy” is an Area B course to fulfill core requirements. The one hour course is theoretical and practical in content and offers students information beyond the “traditional” information literacy course descriptions. A theme of the course is the impact of information on the life of the college student. For the final project, students are required to use a Web2.0 tool to illustrate how information influences their everyday life. Discussions include how information is obtained, used, disseminated, and evaluated. Students develop the presentation and write a one page reflection paper about the project. For some students the idea of not writing a research paper is daunting and overwhelming because it is something new and different. Informal feedback and evaluations show students enjoy the opportunity to express knowledge, learning, and information competency in a creative manner. Not only do they explore information and its impact on their lives, they use technology to present the information in a creative manner
Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy: Affordable Learning for Students
No full textThe information library environment lends itself well to the use of Open Educational Resources (OER). This presentation will discuss the use of OER in the information literacy classroom, session, and learning settings. The presenter will provide an overview of OER, its use, variety, benefits, and challenges. Pedagogical best practices and student learning outcomes will be discussed, as will theory of OER and its benefits for students, librarians, and educators
Open Educational Resources are available in a variety of formats, with numerous methods of delivery, use, and reuse. The academic environment often provides information literacy instruction, with information literacy a noted learning outcome in many schools and universities. The combination of OER and the information literacy curriculum is beneficial and the presentation will outline many examples and resources for OER in the information literacy environment. Group discussion, questions, and answers are part of the presentation, where all participants may learn from experiences and knowledge in the room.
