Steven Bell and John Shank, co-founders of the Blended Librarians Online
Learning Community and their guests, Laurel Cornell and Carrie Donovan,
invite you to join them for the live webcast, “Collaborating With
Faculty on Information Literacy Instruction: Using Visual Methods to
Enhance Student Learning” which will take place on *Thursday, December
3, 2009 at 3 pm. EDT.*
Event Description:
Students’ ability to create visual work is important in their
understanding and learning of complex concepts. While visual literacy is
a growing phenomenon of interest amongst librarians in a variety of
settings, visual methods for teaching are centered around the learner’s
ability to take in new knowledge and express it in an original, visual
form. In this session, two members of Indiana University’s Visual
Methods Research Group will explain their research in exploring visual
teaching methods, as well as their collaborative efforts to integrate
information literacy into an undergraduate course using visual methods.
