  1. Transforming Pedagogy & Curriculum with Information Literacy LSTA: Librarian as Instructional Leader July 14 & 15, 2010

  2. Quick LSTA Grant Overview • Precollege Information Literacy Research (PILR) • Technology in instruction • Ongoing Mini-Grants for IL and assessment • IL for the “Rising Junior” • Leadership in instruction • Collaboration!!

  3. PILR: Research Question Does information literacy contribute to overall learning and transition for pre-college students? Phase 1 Collect data and identify methods for integrating IL into pre-college programs Phase 2 Seek evidence to support the hypothesis that IL instruction makes a difference in overall learning and transition for pre-college students

  4. Emerging Technology and IL Teaching “exploring ways to harness emerging technology and sound pedagogy to create sustainable support for information literacy and e-Learning… how we can connect directly with students and what support we can provide for faculty as our partners in information literacy instruction.”

  5. Workshop Outcomes • Discuss how shifting information paradigms impact information literacy instruction • Identify strategies and plans to improve student learning and/or build partnerships with discipline faculty • Explore available tools that support IL instruction and library services • Share experiences with technologies that support information literacy instruction

  6. Keeping track… golden ideas

  7. Welcoming… • Anne-Marie Deitering Oregon State University • Nicholas Schiller Washington State University, Vancouver

  8. Information Literacy Plans Articulate what you do and why.

  9. Information Literacy Plan • Purpose/goals • Learning outcomes • Modes/models for instruction • How do you know they work (or don’t work)? • Current top priorities

  10. ACRL: Best Practices • Mission • Goals & Objectives • Planning • Admin & Institutional Support • Articulation with Curriculum • Collaboration • Pedagogy • Staffing • Outreach • Assessment/Evaluation http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/standards/characteristics.cfm

  11. Linking to the Information Literacy Plan Projects Activities Objectives Mission & Goals

  12. 1. Fast forward • What problems do your students have learning to be information literate? • Communication – ability to read, skim, spell, use grammar • Attachment to natural language – entire question • Awareness of library resources • Need preparation as learners – how to instill passion for learning – IL is more than finding an answer – need to be invested in learning process – persistence and patience • Instructors aren’t always comfortable with IL and may not know how to use some of the tools • Wiki for students – create a nicer way for them to engage creatively with the resources – students need to be excited about it and understand it – research needs to be fun & collaborative • Values of the academy are different from those of the real world • They don’t know what they don’t know – they think they are already good at research • They need to know the why as well as the how • Students lack the spark of intellectual curiosity – we need to meet them where their passions are • How does real life research compare with what we ask students to do? • Is the information we ask them to use appropriate to their level, need, etc. Are faculty and librarians working together to address this? • Lack basic skills, such as using an index – some faculty assume students got IL somewhere else • Basic problems: lack $ for computers, software, books; lack time, • ESL – language or cultural • Limitations of our tools – databases aren’t all FT and students think they should be • Students can’t distinguish between different kinds of information • Don’t know how to sort through a list of results • Confuse IL with technology literacy • Can’t identify information needs – • Need more time for research • Assignment design – hobbled by the assignment or asked to use resources that don’t match the task

  13. Continued

  14. Analyzing Options Impact Effort ImpactEffort ImpactEffort ImpactEffort

  15. 2 Golden Ideas Think & Write • Review your notes for themes & ideas. Share & Discuss • Which 2-3 ideas could be used to solve IL problems that students face?

  16. 3 Explore an idea Think & Write • Use the project template to begin to develop a project idea in depth Share & Discuss • Describe the project to your group & get feedback

  17. Thursday Wrap - Up • Share project ideas & plans (solicit partners?) • Share and post training models on the wiki – keep materials generic – share story boards • Work with IRIS/Kitty to add video etc. (sally) • Web site where we’ve found instructional components – explore using/sharing Delicious for this purpose (linda) • Use/promote social networking to generate knowledge/research – e.g., facebook, twitter, cancer.org, • Tegrity (lecture capture software) – statewide contract • How to better use elluminateesp for IL • Usability testing for libguides • Develop/find textbook alternatives • Un-Workshop • Open textbooks/open course initiative – collaborate! Don’t recreate. • Next year 2010-2011 • PILR • Immersion – advanced/custom/new • Rising Junior workshop • Questions, issues, epiphanies • Where to now?
