Interactive mapping techniques invite students to connect with content to visualize information beyond mere location. Mapping challenges learners to think, develop literacy skills, and understand the complexity of global issues. It enables learners to seek new ways to look at information through a lens of inquiry-based analysis.
Infographics are a hot topic at the moment. They help to translate data into insights and understanding. This slide deck describes what an infographic is and provides many great examples of info graphics.

A number of students over a variety of year levels created dots for International Dot Day 2013 #dotday13. Such a day is based on the book the Dot by Peter Reynolds and celebrates creativity, courage and collaboration. Students involved were encouraged to think about sharing the Australian culture somehow with their dots. A selection of dots is shared on this presentation.

The ubiquity of handheld devices and learning media means that every educator (and student) makes daily choices in how to shape content. The prominence of visual stimuli places a heightened emphasis on the design of information and the broad reach of its effectiveness. The skills of graphicacy help learners see how cognition and perception can have real-world impacts on critical thought and creativity.

Infographics: E-volving Instruction for Visual Literacy
Melanie Parlette-Stewart, Lindsey Robinson - University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario
WILU 2014 - London, ON
Infographics involve the bringing together of information, data, and design. There is increasing need to be visually literate, as is highlighted in the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. This session presents the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards and the application of these to an introductory infographics instruction session. This session will highlight the active learning approach used to allow students to engage with and create infographics at an introductory level.
Garin Fons of COERLL discusses recent experiences designing, implementing, and assessing digital badging initiatives within a professional community of foreign language educators. Presentation entitled: Show What You Know: Open Digital Badges for Professional Development and Lifelong Learning
According to the Visual Teaching Alliance, 90 percent of information that comes to the brain is visual, so why are many of our handouts and presentations primarily text-based? This presentation will introduce infographics, short for information graphics, and demonstrate how they can visually, and more easily, represent complex information and make your handouts and presentations more meaningful to your audience.
Some of the ideas for this presentation were borrowed from http://www.slideshare.net/dee987 and http://www.slideshare.net/ripetungi.
Despite the availability of many platforms for scientists to connect and share with their peers in the scientific community the majority do not make use of these tools, despite their promise and potential impact and influence on our careers. We are already being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data and new “AltMetric scores” are being assigned to scientific publications as measures of popularity and, supposedly, of impact. We now have even more ways to contribute to science, to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways, and many of these activities are as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. This presentation provides an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose your scientific activities online. It will discuss the new world of AltMetrics that is in an explosive growth curve and will help you understand how to influence and leverage some of these new measures. Participating online, whether it be simply for career advancement or for wider exposure of your research, there are now a series of web applications that can provide a great opportunity to develop a scientific profile within the community.

We all know that librarians are the information superheroes of the world. It’s only natural that we would hold the key to digital literacy!
When the topic is raised, people think of everything from learning e-readers, to practicing web safety, or building a website. This is all part of learning how to find, use, create and share digital content. The fun part is that digital literacy is always going to mean different things to different people. The trick is to find free resources library patrons will want to use.
This webinar will help you prepare to teach digital literacy in your library. Tune in to find out:
•What is digital literacy?
•How digital literacy is evolving
•Using free, existing resources to save time
•Deciding what to teach in your library
•Catering to a wide variety of patron needs
•Working with local schools
It’s time to put on your Digital Literacy cape and prepare your library for the future!

------------------
A scribe took notes during session and those can be viewed from https://goo.gl/N1zKcZ | Most impactful take-away is that choices made during CBE program development will be dependent on your organization's needs, infrastructure, and the degree/program type you are offering and the same choices might not work for other programs at your institution. There is no one right way to develop a CBE program. There are ways that will not be supported by internal cultures and infrastructures and that will be influenced heavily by your external regulatory environment (accreditation, DOE, etc).
How does your institution address academic integrity? How do you educate stakeholders about the policies and procedures? Discuss the journey to academic integrity by CCCOnline and share the open content resources created in collaboration with WCET to educate faculty and students about policies and procedures.
