Look for other communities and networks or host a network events. Choice is yours. Never one to determine how folks have to interact with strangers. You can lurk and learn or lead and learn. Both valuable

Choose a learning theory to guide your work. Explain the connections

Vygotsky.

Sociocultural interaction can take place by proxy through artifacts. In this case, I interacted with the ACRL Framework as it is relatively new and information literacy in higher education is expected to be assessed using these six frames. The literature (and professional conversations) suggested the Framework was difficult to understand and more difficult to try and implement. Searches suggested very few had tried.

The results of literature searches were sorted to be used as a scaffold to trying to understand the two sides.

During literature and Web searches a few sources (universities) turned up as starting to develop materials. So few sources were found that it was understandable why Bucknell University put their material on the Web in editable files (under Creative Commons) with the invitation to please take, edit, use. The University of Western Cape (New Zealand) posted a series of videos for teaching faculty wanting to incorporate the Frames. A few rubrics were found. All of these were used as proxies for More Knowledgeable Others and as more concrete ways of developing my understanding of at least how others interpreted the Framework.

I do have a colleague who I constantly exchange emails with and talk on the phone (several hours each week) talking through these various sources and how to to craft from all this a self-study product for Southern students.

Because I have been asked t share the resources I collected, I’m putting them here. Immediate I ran into a problem: I moved just over 4K files from an old computer to a new one and I’m getting a lot of alias errors and fixing isn’t working so I need to go back and recollect items – bother. Also the new laptop is only a 13″ screen (old one was 16″ and what a difference it made) and I’m having a difficult time adjust the way I work. In addition to the links below, I have Joanna Burkhardt’s 2016 book of sample exercises – Teaching Information Literacy Reframed.

The project begins from the need to turn a 2016 Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education that replace ** into a self-study product. Let’s see if I can add the actual Framework document – bother; okay, here is the link to the Framework document.

Curate learning material. I have gathered “a bunch of resources” – they are somewhat “curated” in folders and subfolders; Have found more resources than anticipated.

Why did you choose these? There are the ACRL and AACU documentation that the project grew from. In searching I have found other universities that have attempted to put the new ACRL Frames/Framework into something understandable and implementable. Some are useful as models.

I began writing an Introduction as more of a conversation with myself to find boundaries to the project which has become more fuzzy than anticipated.

Choose a learning theory to guide your work. Experiential learning

Explain the connections. Finding, evaluating, and citing information has become messy and the rules for use fuzzy. ACRL has shifted from a more countable competency-base to a more overlapping system of transferable understandings that seem to match well with experiential learning though self-guided experiences and reflections.

Objective 1.3 – Construct the practice exercise around social justice themes

GOAL 2 – OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT

Objective 2.1 – Construct pre-/post- assessment based on AAC&U VALUE rubric
