Creating & Implementing an IL Curriculum Map integrates information literacy (IL) into academic curricula. The document discusses how curriculum mapping visually represents the connections between IL learning outcomes, opportunities, and assessments. It also notes employers desire graduates with research skills beyond search engines. The author provides strategies for gaining faculty buy-in, implementing an IL map, and assessing student learning through the map. An IL curriculum map standardizes IL instruction, reduces repetition, and ensures all students receive instruction to meet standards.

Writing and Refining Information Literacy Learning OutcomesChris Sweet
One of the cornerstones of effective information literacy assessment is having clearly-defined student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes specify what learners will know or be able to do as a result of a learning activity. Accrediting bodies often look for specific learning outcomes as one component of the review process. Most librarians have received little –or no- training in writing learning outcomes. This workshop will provide an overview of learning outcomes, their role in assessment and how to write them. Participants are encouraged to come with an instruction session or class for which they want to write or refine learning outcomes.

Where Does Information Literacy Fit? Mapping the CoreGreg Hardin
This presentation will cover the current curriculum mapping project at the University of North Texas Libraries. As part of our greater Information Literacy Initiative, this project seeks to improve the capacity of UNT students for critical thinking and the ability to use information effectively with a key aim of the project being to help strengthen core library services to enhance high-impact practices. Through curriculum mapping we are seeking to establish a baseline understanding of the current information literacy practices and needs on campus. We have mapped student learning outcomes on course syllabi to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education and the AAC&U Information Literacy VALUE Rubric. With information gleaned from this project, we will know which core courses address which standards and frames, identify gaps in library instruction, and begin to address these gaps through the work of our subject librarians and strategically targeted library instruction.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
CURRICULUM MAPPING
• Curriculum mapping is about visually representing the
different components of the curriculum so that the whole
picture and the relationships and connections between the
parts of the map are easily seen
• Makes the curriculum more transparent to stakeholders
• Shows the links between different elements of the curriculum
– Learning outcomes, learning opportunities, assessment points
• Information Literacy Curriculum Map (ILCM) can bring more
structure to a library instruction program because activities will
be more intentional and can serve to bring stakeholders
together
4. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
HIGHER EDUCATION LANDSCAPE IN U.S.
• Accreditation requirements
• Proficiencies and standards related to information literacy
• Employers are seeking college graduates who possess a
range of research skills including the ability to use tools
beyond search engines as well as the ability to use critical
thinking in applying the best information to address the task at
hand
• Employers reported that many college graduate hires did not
go beyond the scope of what they could find online

HIGHER EDUCATION LANDSCAPE IN U.S.
• Students are consumers and creators of information
– Most of them stick to tried and true methods of research
– 80% of those surveyed do not ask a librarian for assistance
• Recent college graduates state that they are unprepared to
meet the information needs toward problem solving in the
workplace
• Librarians have increased, intensified, and diversified
approaches in response to the needs of students and
institutions in the face of the information age
8. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
An Internal Environmental Scan Revealed…
• Need for more Faculty buy-in
– Faculty did not understand the concept of IL
• Marked duplication of ACRL IL performance indicators
• Assessment was not organized: no formal plan in place
• Unable to work with students at the higher levels
• Apathy among students
Students did not understand the value of IL
Students saw repetition/practice as a nuisance
9. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
Brief Success Story
• IL integrated into curriculum via ILCM
• IL adopted as an institutional goal
• IL statement in all course syllabi
• IL learning assessment plan integrated into dep’t assessment
plans
• Culture of IL through branding and collaboration
• Librarians formed a team providing a pool of expertise
– Training workshops in person and asynchronous online workshops
10. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
ILCM: A TOOL OF COMMUNICATION &
COLLABORATION
• The process of ILCM fosters collaboration
• Provides an environment where professional knowledge and
expertise of the participants are acknowledged and embraced
• Instructors can define what IL means in their discipline
• Librarians and instructors identify opportunities in the
curriculum where IL can be integrated
• Assessment strategies are identified
11. Rutgers University Libraries
IL Curriculum Mapping
Use Data to Reveal Patterns and Illuminate Opportunities
• Identify redundancies, gaps,
absences in opportunities
presented to students
• Has the data revealed an absence
of focus on research that is
specific to a discipline? Are the
students exposed to IL
competencies only via the Liberal
Arts curriculum? Has the IL
instruction mainly focused on
specific IL competencies?
• Focus on assessment strategies
12. Rutgers University Libraries

POTENTIAL OBSTACLES
• Finding a program to partner
with
• Gaining buy in from colleagues
• Communicating value of IL to
students
• Creating & Implementing a

BENEFITS OF AN ILCM
Student frustration over unintentional repetitious presentations will
be reduced
Faculty will be encouraged to act as stronger collaborators
We will ensure thoroughness because all students of a particular
class will be given instruction
Librarians will gain visibility as faculty and be viewed as a
fundamental part of the curriculum planning process
Standards will be met
