Project Description:
The goal of this project is for discipline-based faculty members to revise one of their existing courses to incorporate information competence principles and learning outcomes, and for discipline-based faculty members to work with subject specialist librarians to develop learning tools in the disciplines which can be
used in departments and schools throughout the university.

Library staff and experienced faculty "coaches" will demonstrate the CSU Information Competence teaching modules which participants may use as models for their own courses.

Participants will receive a packet of materials upon which discussion will be based, they will attend presentations, and they will have plenty of supervised workshop time to redesign their courses and create learning tools in a supportive teaching-learning environment.

Workshop presentations will be organized around the seven competencies defined by the CLRIT Work Group on Information Competence. Participants will learn what these competencies are, how they may be best acquired, the type of assignments which best demonstrate student mastery of these skills, and how these competencies may be integrated seamlessly and effectively into diverse course materials.

At the end of the workshop, faculty participants will present and share their completed projects with others in the group, and then serve as mentors to their departmental and school colleagues. During the 1999-2000 academic year, participants will facilitate an information competency workshop for their colleagues through the Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching.
