Room to Grow
• K-12 students• First-year remedial / developmental students• Upper-level undergraduate• Graduate students
![Page 15: Using Weapons of Mass Collaboration to Implode Information Literacy into the Curriculum](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681658a550346895dd84e13/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Standards in Practice• Flexibility: Allows effective integration of
information literacy education into existing courses
• Adaptability: Can be made relevant to virtually any discipline or subject area
• Assessment: Alignment with Progression Standards provides a framework for assessment
![Page 16: Using Weapons of Mass Collaboration to Implode Information Literacy into the Curriculum](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681658a550346895dd84e13/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Standards in Practice
• Opposing Viewpoints– Ideal for first year students – Develops essential research skills– Provides structure and creativity – Incorporate additional literacies
![Page 17: Using Weapons of Mass Collaboration to Implode Information Literacy into the Curriculum](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681658a550346895dd84e13/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Standards in Practice • Citation Examination
– Emphasises both Introductory & Gateway skills– Deconstruct citation to locate resources – Recognise value of bibliographies – Incorporates technology
![Page 18: Using Weapons of Mass Collaboration to Implode Information Literacy into the Curriculum](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681658a550346895dd84e13/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Standards in Practice
• Annotated Bibliography– Standalone element of traditional research papers– Focused on subject specific resources – Evaluation of selected sources – Demonstrate consistent use of a citation style
![Page 19: Using Weapons of Mass Collaboration to Implode Information Literacy into the Curriculum](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5681658a550346895dd84e13/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
