Information Literacy Colloquium seeks engaging, innovative, and energizing

About the Colloquium: http://libguides.ius.edu/colloquium
While stereotypical images of the library would have us
believe that learning takes place in hushed silence, the truth is that learning
is not necessarily a quiet endeavor. Learning can be complicated, messy,
loud, boisterous, and exciting.
We seek stimulating proposals that examine the implications Learning
Out Loud has for information literacy pedagogy. How can instruction
librarians take into account the sometimes chaotic, highly complex learning
process when planning and delivering instruction sessions? How do we
reach diverse learners with diverse learning styles? How might instruction
librarians partner with other campus entities in order to foster student
learning and enhance information literacy pedagogy? How do we envision
the future of library instruction? Possible topic areas related to
information literacy pedagogy may include, but are not limited to:
·
Assessment
·
Collaboration
·
Communication
·
Learning activities
·
Lesson plans
·
Marketing and outreach
·
Pedagogical theory and practice
·
Professional development for instruction
librarians
·
Teaching with technology
Proposal guidelines: Proposals for 45-minute breakout
sessions should be no more than 250 words in length and should contain at least
two learning outcomes. All proposals should clearly relate to the
conference theme and offer innovative and interesting insights that will
enhance the learning of the Colloquium community. Proposals should be
submitted via the online conference proposal form: http://ius.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2sqrL75u53mzK0k
Proposal deadline: April 30, 2012. Proposal
