A transformative education is one in which students do not just learn new skills and knowledge but develop a new perspective that allows them to critically consider and question existing understandings and assumptions. Is it possible to teach information literacy in ways that support epistemic and personal transformation? If so, what would this look like?

This workshop will provide an overview of the concept of transformative education and will consider this notion in relation to efforts to teach information literacy. This workshop is intended for course instructors, graduate teaching associates, instructional support staff, and librarians at The Ohio State University. Participants from other institutions are also welcome to attend.  

For participants associated with Ohio State, participation counts as credit toward the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning. For participants not associated with Ohio State, participation counts as credit for the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate being offered by the Teaching & Learning Department in The Ohio State University Libraries.
