"Take the Red Pill: A New Matrix of Literacy" by Tara Brabazon

"Take the Red Pill: A New Matrix of Literacy" by Tara Brabazon | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Using The Matrix film series as an inspiration, aspiration and model, this article integrates horizontal and vertical models of literacy. My goal is to create a new matrix for media literacy, aligning the best of analogue depth models for meaning making with the rapid scrolling, clicking and moving through the read-write web. To undertake this study I deploy not only the filmic series, but one of the scholars who inspired it. I explore the relevance and application of Jean Baudrillard’s research on contemporary understandings of media literacy.

TURNITIN? TURNITOFF: The Deskilling of Information Literacy

 

Plagiarism is a folk devil into which is poured many of the challenges, problems and difficulties confronting higher education. This article investigates how software -Turnitin in particular- is ‘solving’ a particular ‘crisis’ in universities. However, I investigate how alternative strategies for the development of information literacy offer concrete, productive and imaginative trajectories for university staff and students.

Vlog 108 - Information Literacy - YouTube

This week's vlog opens a discussion of a foundational skill for PhD students. This is a deal breaker skill. When examiners open a thesis, they are looking for information literacy skills as a foundation for the research.

[As previously stated, I hardly ever have great expectations to keynotes, but I had the great pleasure of hearing Tara Brabazon at a keynote for LILAC (my favourite conference!), and I have been in awe ever since. I have used some of her books, too, particularly “The university of Google”. I highly recommend it. I have also followed her vlogs for PhD candidates, and there is something in there for everyone – not just PhD students. So – in this case I had very high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Recording from the keynote is available here. Brabazon has mastered the art of combining form and content, she always has something interesting to say, and she does it like a rockstar. You cannot help but pay attention
