Description:

Though community colleges are not typically known as “research institutions”, it is imperative that we teach our students the necessary research skills to prepare them for transfer to a 4-year institution or success in the workplace. However, research does not have to come in the shape and form of a major term paper, nor should it if that does not fit the class. 

Participants will edit an existing assignment, or create a new assignment, that requires information literacy skills and implement it in a course.  Participants will provide a short presentation on the assignment and implementation with their cohort peers.

Professional Learning Outcomes (PLO):

In this PLCohort, participants will be able to

• Participants will discuss information literacy definition, importance and relation to research.
• Participants will identify various classroom ready research assignments and apply one to their course.
• Participants will create/modify an assignment to incorporate information literacy.
