Course Integration Templates
|
Here are some tools, examples and samples to make it easier to integrate Information Literacy into GE and major courses in your discipline. Please feel free to adapt as appropriate to your needs.
Blank Templates
The preceding templates are based on:
"Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education." American Library Association . 2004. http://www.ala.org/acrl/ilcomstan.html (Accessed 04 Mar, 2005)
(These standards have also been endorsed by the American Association for Higher Education and the Council of Independent Colleges). The first template below shows the ACRL Standards and associated performance indicators and outcomes. It also suggests four types of classes in a discipline that are particularly well suited for the integration of information literacy competence.
Sample Templates
Depending on the discipline and the faculty member, the ACRL standards and outcomes can be used in various ways. Some may choose to link different standards to different courses; others may choose to cover all or most of the standards in each course, at an increasing level of sophistication (the “introduce—reinforce—culminate” model).
Sample Template (Generic Skills)
An example of how ACRL outcomes & information competence skills might be distributed over course types in the “introduce, reinforce, culminate” model.
