The Teaching Learning Center
at Otis College of Art and Design is
experimenting with creating YouTube videos to help teach info lit skills for
our freshmen in particular. Our most recent one features an art history
professor discussing some of the criteria useful in determining whether the information
found in periodicals is scholarly, popular, or professional. Although not
really scripted, she has worked closely with me for years on teaching info lit
skills to students in the first year required art history course. She spoke
extemporaneously for 55 minutes and we edited it down to 10.
I am interested in what others are doing as well. My hope is to find a
visual and/or interactive tutorials for each of the skills we want our students
to learn and pull them together on this page: http://library.otis.edu/informationliteracy.html
I’d be interested to hear about interactive or video tutorials
that any of you may know about. Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sue
