Employer Expectations
“…baseline information competencies… knowing how and where to find information online, without much guidance, to use a search strategy beyond the first page of Google results, and to articulate a “best solution” and conclusion from all that was found.” [emphasis added]

For Discussion
• What brought you to this session today?
• What specific information literacy needs are you facing at your institution?
• What is preventing you from addressing current needs?

Origins
• QEP on Information Fluency• “create or acquire accessible information
literacy learning modules… easily incorporated into existing discipline courses and… available to students at all times”
plus• “Alpha” stage learning object system
![Page 14: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What’s So Special?
Other Modules UCF’s Info Lit Mods
Very short/very lengthy Complete-able in one sitting

![Page 15: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What Is a Module?• A module is a complete, automated instructional resource
(no instructor intervention required).
• Each module based upon one identified learning outcome and contains content presentation, practice with feedback, and assessment of learning.
• Each module object is completable in one sitting (no more than 30 minutes).
• Designed for assigning by instructors or student self-selection
![Page 16: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is a Module?
• Content presentation may be text, graphics, video, interactive media, or a combination as appropriate.
• Practice/Assessment may be “traditional” (i.e., true/false or multiple choice) or “non-traditional” (e.g., simulation/authentic assessment) as appropriate.

Terminology
• Module = complete, automated instructional resource (no instructor intervention required).
• Instance = module version provided to one group of students with group-specific settings
• Completion = submission of an assessment attempt
![Page 27: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How Are We Doing?
Between June 23, 2008 – September 30, 2013 there have been:
150,882 "completions" by 29,010 students taught by 349 faculty who created 5645 instances of 15 modules with an average score of 84.6% across all modules’ summative assessments
In end-of-term questionnaires...•Most faculty say they assign modules as stand-alone graded assignments.•On average, faculty report moderate impact on student knowledge/skills.•Few technical problems. (6% of student respondents indicate problems hindering completion. Tech support logs show far fewer numbers.)•On average, students say they have prior experience with content but get value from practice/feedback and find that the summative assessments accurately gauge their competence.

So How’s It Going?Initial Findings (as of 11/13/2013)
![Page 46: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Initial Data
11,254 - assessments that should have delivered a badge
11,566 - badges sent via institutional email addresses
4039 - individual students who’ve earned badges
53 - students earning badges from non-assigned mods
56 (10+ students) - Number of badges claimed via Credly
![Page 47: Centering Student Success on Information Literacy: One Institution’s Information Literacy Modules](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554de7d3b4c905f6598b4715/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Observations
• Earners driven by assignment (currently)
• Watching for student-driven uptick later
• Potential value in each phase of badging:
○ Notification email
○ Claiming (“Save and Share”)
○ Making public
○ Linking to specific badges
