Dear Colleagues:
As part of a research project, a colleague and I are looking
for examples of how you have incorporated visual literacy into your instruction/information
literacy program. For our purposes we
are defining 'visual literacy' loosely in terms of the location, evaluation,
and effective use of visual information.
For instance, do you address the concept of visual
literacy? If so, is the concept presented
in classes geared for first year students? What types of resources do you
promote? Is an understanding of visual
resources promoted across the curriculum or solely to students in such fields
as visual arts or mass communication? Do
you include a component of visual image evaluation?
Any examples or anecdotes you may have to offer will be much appreciated. Please contact me off list. I would be more than happy to post a summary of responses if there is interest.
Regards,
Kristina Keogh
