This course examines the theory and practice of instruction provided in information organizations to develop clients' abilities to effectively locate, evaluate, select and use information. Attention is given to the nature of information literacy, systematic instructional design, needs assessment, methods of instruction, teaching and learning preferences, and the evaluation of learning and programs. This course is interdisciplinary and draws on theory from Library & Information Science, Instructional Communication, Education and Cognitive Psychology. We will examine and criticize various instructional models, plan for and deliver instruction in both in-person and computer-aided venues, learn various methods for assessing teaching and learning, and discuss the managerial and political aspects of instructional delivery in various information agency contexts, with a special emphasis on those in academic settings.
