Adventures in Teaching with the ACRL Information Literacy Framework: Designing Backwards, In Heels

Adventures in Teaching with the ACRL Information Literacy Framework: Designing Backwards, In Heels | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Last week here on the ol’ blog, I presented a preface to a series of posts about designing and teaching intermediate and advanced philosophy courses using the ACRL’s Information Literacy Framework. In this week’s installment in the series, I’m going to take a little time to walk through the thought process behind my course-building work, in which I used a sort of backward design to grow the pedagogical skeleton for my PHIL 230 (Studies in Philosophy) classes. What I’m most interested in accomplishing with this post is a fairly rudimentary account of how the Framework can be used to generate and support course outcomes.

Collecting student data can be a great source of insight, but best practices for privacy and security must be followed.


The latest research from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) shows that almost 70 percent of schools have seen a jump in data collection in the last few years. In K–12 schools, according to SIIA, administrators primarily use student data to track performance, improve instruction and keep parents updated on their child’s progress.

I can’t measure learning, only the symbolic artifacts of learning.

That’s not so strange. We measure civic responsibility by how many people vote, but we can’t measure how “good” those votes are, the extent to which they are backed by intelligent thought or research into the issues. We can only measure outcomes.

Measuring value: the impact of information literacy and its evaluation ~ libfocus - Irish library blog

Measuring value: the impact of information literacy and its evaluation ~ libfocus - Irish library blog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Measuring the outcomes of information literacy education has become increasingly important for academic and research libraries as they seek to assert the value of their contributions to graduate outcomes and employability, research output and communities of practice at their institutions.  Bodies such as the ACRL have produced reports providing evidence that "collaborative instructional activities and services between the library and other campus units (e.g., writing centres, study skills and tutoring services) promote student learning and success" in measurable ways such as improved grades and student retention. But according to Research Libraries UK, “the paradox may be that that the more library services are integrated with academic activity the more difficult it will become to determine a direct relationship.” Many librarians continue to seek examples of best practice in this complex area.
