Information Literacy Artifacts
In my LIS 665: Information literacy course, I was introduced to ACRL Information Literacy framework for Higher Education. I learned how to the importance of evaluating information and teaching other how to do the same. Before this course, I was unaware how to effectively evaluate information. This course has instilled the seriousness having Information Literacy. I obtained proficient knowledge through coursework, projects, and lectures. I used my are found knowledge to create tools that promote information literacy. For example, tutorials, research guides, instructional lesson plans, and other pedagogic practices. You can view my artifacts above.
In my LIS 672: Instructional Design, I learned about several instructional design models for both teach and learning. I enjoyed learning ADDIE model. The ADDIE model is a systematic, step-by-step framework that is used by instructors to design and develop instructional course material. This model allows the instructor to assess the audience and the environment to ensure an effective and efficient learning is taking place. The ADDIE model is made up five phases: Analyze, Design, develop, Implement, and Evaluate. I also learned how to apply Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction provides a framework for an effective learning process. In this course, I explored tools and techniques that will improve my instruction skills. I learned the importance of assessing your students to determine whether or not they have obtained the student learning objectives and outcomes. I learned the importance of receiving feedback from the audience after or during the course to determine whether changes should be made to the curriculum. Receiving feedback helps the instructor to evaluate and make changes regularly. It was great to take a class that explained instruction thoroughly. I really enjoyed learning the process of instruction. With my new found tools I can be efficient and effective when providing information literacy instructions to my future students.
After my completion of LIS 672: Instructional Design Course. Dr. Chow, LIS Professor for LIS 672 , employed me as an Instructional Designer. In this role, I created e-learning modules for the Healthy Relationship Initiative program. I collaborated with multiple faculty members from UNCG’s School of Education and local non-profit organizations to develop learning outcomes, assessments, and to identify instructional needs for e-learning modules that will be distributed throughout Guilford County as training material. I gained valuable experience by collaborating with faculty, and creating interactive assessments.
Both LIS 665: Information literacy and LIS 672: Instructional Design has forever changed my life and the direction I will be taking in my career as a Librarian. After the coursework and my employment, I realized that I want to become an Instructional Designer. I want to continue to assist faculty and non-profit organization to make e-learning modules with interactive assessments that accommodates all learning styles. It is also my goal to become an Information Literacy Librarian who specializes in teaching first generation students how to locate, assess and evaluate information and effectively apply the information in their lives.
