Registration is open for the webinar “Navigating the Novice-Expert Research Gap: A New Information Literacy Taxonomy”. It will take place on Thursday, June 5, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDT.
Students and instructors can find research assignments to be frustrating, as students (as novices) and instructors (as disciplinary experts) are seemingly speaking two different languages. Instructors develop assignments and expectations for performance based on ways of thinking and knowing that are common to experts, but these expectations are not always explicitly or transparently taught or discussed with students. In this presentation, we will outline a new taxonomy that is intended to help instructors and librarians navigate this expert-novice research gap. Participants will be introduced to the new taxonomy and consider how they can utilize it to develop research assignments with clear expectations and appropriate scaffolding for learning.
To view the list of presenters, and to register, please go here. This webinar is part of a free information literacy virtual presentation series offered through The Ohio State University Libraries. All are welcome to attend. Participants can use attendance at these presentations to earn the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate being offered by the Libraries’ Teaching & Learning Department.
