Questions Addressed in the Workshop:

Information Literacy
Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.

General Education Rubric-Information & Digital Literacy
Help Students Stay on Target by Recognizing Your Intended Goals
Effective learning objectives are designed with a clear understanding of the content being presented and assessed. If an instructor intends to assess both course content and a General Education skill (such as Information and Digital Literacy) with a particular activity, assignment, and/or assessment, then it would be beneficial to explicitly articulate the learning objective(s) for both. This not only ensures that the instructor assesses what they intend to assess, but when provided to students, it also helps students recognize the skills they are developing.
NOTE: Learning objectives are just one tool that instructors can use to articulate the reasoning behind their activity, assignment, and/or assessment.
