Description
What exactly do we mean when we talk about information literacy? Why is it important that our students are developing their information literacy? This virtual workshop will provide an overview of information literacy as a concept and a practice in higher education and explore why information literacy is crucial to student success. Participants will also learn about resources and strategies that they can use to incorporate information literacy into their courses. This workshop is aimed at course instructors, graduate teaching associates, and librarians. All are welcome! (Note: This workshop was previously offered in Autumn 2023 and Spring 2024)

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.
