  • Anne Burke, NCSU Libraries
 

Description:

In 2011, our three-librarian instruction team undertook a comprehensive review and redesign of our online tutorial, with the goals of improving its curricular foundation, its technological underpinnings, and its sustainability, culminating in the “Teach Yourself” suite of instructional modules. This virtual poster presents our impetus for creating a new tutorial platform, the functional requirements we identified, and the features of our new framework. We also touch on evaluation and plans for future improvement.

 

You are a Scholar: Designing an Online Module for FYE Community Using the Draft ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education

 

Presented by:

  • Lindsay O’Neill, Instructional Design Librarian, Cal State Fullerton
  • Lettycia Terrones, Education Librarian, Cal State Fullerton
 

Description:

FYE students enroll in UNIV 100, which features an embedded IL component. Librarians redesigned the UNIV 100 information literacy assessment based on anticipated ACRL IL Frameworks to support university curricular goals. A flipped classroom format will be piloted using online modules to complement one-shot sessions. Built-in interactive activities will assess student mastery of specific IL learning outcomes. This IL assessment redesign has potential to be implemented and scalable in other student support programs.
