Decoding Information Literacy

Do your students struggle with research or inquiry-based assignments where they are required to locate, evaluate and use a variety of different information sources? Some of these challenges may be due to the gap between how experienced researchers approach research and how novice learners approach research. In this workshop, you will be introduced to Decoding the Disciplines (Pace & Middendorf), a model for reducing the gap between expert and novice thinking. You will learn about how you can use this model to help identify student learning bottlenecks related to information literacy—finding, evaluating and using information—and will be provided with strategies and activities you can use to help students overcome these bottlenecks.

For those affiliated with Ohio State, this workshop counts as credit toward the Teaching Information Literacy endorsement and/or Meaningful Inquiry endorsement from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning.
