Philip Yenawine defines visual literacy as the ability to communicate as
well as recognize and understand ideas conveyed through imagery. This
program will explore connections between visual literacy and information
literacy. Three experts will examine legal issues, access issues, and
teaching strategies in light of the standards developed for both
literacies.
Attendees will have the opportunity to develop learning outcomes,
rubrics, and pedagogical methods for teaching in an environment where
words and images communicate meaning. An introductory slideshow will
feature the history and accomplishments of the Arts and Instruction
Sections as well as introduce the program topic and the presenters.
Before and after the conference, visit the virtual poster sessions
offered in connection to the program.

The poster sessions include practical approaches to teaching information
literacy and visual literacy, new ideas for integrating multiple
literacy skills into your instruction, and tips for collaborations that
connect information literacy, visual literacy, and student learning.
