- Bringing Information Literacy into the Social Sphere: A Case Study Using Social Software to Teach Information Literacy at WFU Mitchell, Erik T. Smith, Susan Sharpless Information Literacy Information Skills Teaching Methods Case Studies Pretests Posttests Instructional Design Course Evaluation Learner Engagement Social Networks Student Surveys Program Descriptions Technology Integration Library Instruction Higher Education This article presents an approach to teaching information literacy in an academic course from a socio-technical perspective. It includes an overview of the course framework, a review of course contents, and an analysis of student responses provided through pre- and post-course surveys. The premise of the course design was that students bring a set of technical and information skills to class that address specific but not generalized information literacy goals. By designing a course to engage students from this perspective, the instructors hoped to find a new method for approaching information literacy instruction. (Contains 4 figures and 3 tables.)
