Incorporating Information Literacy Skills Development in a Fanfiction Studies...ElementalPea
This document outlines a proposed Honors 101 course at the University of South Carolina Aiken focusing on fanfiction. The course would use fanfiction as a context to teach information literacy skills like authority, information creation/value, research as inquiry, and searching strategically. Students would analyze fanfiction, learn about copyright/fair use, and create a mini fanfiction studies conference for their final project. The goals are to engage students through their existing participatory fandom expertise, build research skills, and introduce academic processes like conferences in a fun way centered on a legitimate area of study.
Common source evaluation tools, such as PATS and CRAAP, help students assess sources of information based on considerations specific to the source itself, such as purpose, authority, timeliness/currency, scope/relevance, and accuracy. What these tools do not consider is the source’s appropriateness within different rhetorical situations. By teaching students to consider a source’s potential appropriateness within different rhetorical contexts (in an opinion paper vs. a research paper, or as a primary vs. a secondary source) we provide students a framework for more meaningful source evaluation and a means by which to articulate how, why, and when sources are used.
