Registration is open for the webinar “Revising the Framework: Learn and Discuss”. It will take place on Thursday, March 26, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
Our information environment has changed in significant ways in the decade since the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education debuted, and over the last few years a dedicated taskforce has been focused on reviewing the current framework and proposing revisions. As the release date for the draft grows near, ACRL’s Student Learning and Information Literacy Committee (SLILC) would like to invite all interested community members to join an event that will offer an opportunity to hear some of the reasons and process for upcoming framework revisions, as well as a chance to begin thinking about how these changes may affect your practice at a personal and institutional level.
Featuring a number of Framework Revision Task Force Members, this event will allow you to learn a bit about the ongoing process and then convene in breakout sessions to engage in thoughtful conversations about the possible impacts, challenges and opportunities these changes might bring. Each breakout room will have a taskforce member to serve as a content expert, but the goal is to allow a space to begin to discuss as a community the ways in which revisions to the framework may prompt shifts in teaching, assessment, and individual and programmatic collaborations. Our goal is for attendees to leave the session knowledgeable about the process that shaped the upcoming changes and beginning to reflect on how those shifts may shape their own practice.
The first part of the event, in which the taskforce discusses the process, will be recorded and shared with all those registered: for reasons of privacy, the breakout rooms will not be recorded. We hope to see many of you in this opportunity to discuss how we define and communicate the core ideas of our profession.
