Some Purdue colleagues, Tomalee Doan and Catherine Fraser Riehle, and I have had an article accepted at College and Research Libraries (C&RL) News that discusses our work with an initiative going on Purdue to help faculty develop their courses to be more student-centered. The initiative is called, Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT), and provides teachers with a team comprised of staff from Purdue's Information Technology at Purdue (iTAP) and the Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE), as well as a faculty member from the Libraries. Library faculty view the project as a great opportunity for embedding information literacy into courses because we are there when teachers are making curricular and pedagogic decisions, and therefore open to solutions they may not have thought of yet! Definitely a win-win!
This blog is a space to reflect on my experiences a as researcher and teacher as I investigate how college students learn to use information while learning their subject.
