CLASS: Developing a Credit-Bearing Information Literacy Course
August 7 - September 3
$200
The one-shot is still the most common mode of teaching information literacy, so most library-focused professional development opportunities reasonably focus on that model. However, that leaves librarians who are asked to teach a semester-long information literacy course to seek strategies elsewhere. This class is designed to fill that gap, translating skills honed in one-shots to a new format. This class will focus on designing (or redesigning) a semester-long information literacy course, but it may also provide insight that could be useful in integrating information literacy into existing disciplinary and general education courses.
Course outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Implement intentional course design and pedagogical practices to create more equitable and well-organized courses.
Articulate and operationalize what is meaningful to them about information literacy in the context of a credit-bearing course.
Create an outline for an information literacy course
