Pre-conditions for Collaboration
•Purpose▫What is the problem?▫When does the problem need to be solved?
•Shared vision and mission▫Is the problem worthy of study?▫How is the problem to be solved?▫Who is best equipped to solve the
problem?
Strategies for Collaboration
•Build from existing working relationships•Alignment of information literacy
standards and discipline/program student learning outcomes▫Nomenclature▫Contextualize▫Discussion of core concepts and
principles•Use of Web 2.0 tools
White Board3. What are some successful models for collaborating with faculty to develop and design information literacy instruction for the online environment?
4. Can you
recommend a
practice or
learning theory
that you use for
designing online
courses, learning modules,
or learning objects?
Scaffolding Theory of Learning
Use of temporary supports, “scaffolds”, to assist learners complete complex tasks independently
Based on Lev Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development Theory
model use of information (scaffold)Accesses information efficiently application
model research (scaffold)Builds search phrase comprehension
model research question (scaffold)model mind map (scaffold)
Integrating Information Literacy Skills and Course Educational Objectives
White Board 4. Can you recommend a practice or learning theory that you use for designing online courses, library learning modules, or learning objects?
5. What are the
advantages of
correlating student learning outcomes
for information literacy to those
identified in
academic programs,
as opposed
to embeddin
g or integratin
g information literacy skills into a course?
Confluence
Program accreditation
Subject content
Information literacy standards
Library Instruction Continuum/User Perception of Relevancy
Course—demonstrates significance and importance of information literacy
Embedded—demonstrates how information literacy complements course content
Integrated—demonstrates how information literacy relates to course content
Correlated—demonstrates how information literacy is course content
White Board5. What are the advantages of correlating student learning outcomes for information literacy to those identified in academic programs, as opposed to embedding or integrating information literacy skills into a course?
What is one tip you would share for teaching online?
