Teaching Privacy Skills: Whose Responsibility is it to Span the Digital Literacy Gap?

In this presentation I will pose questions we should be considering in regards to how digital privacy education is, or is not, taking place for students. How are students learning about digital privacy, if at all? Whose responsibility is it to teach students about this issue? Are librarians and technology professionals equipped to teach students about privacy in a digitally connected world? And, finally, how do we ensure that the digital literacy skills we are teaching are relevant and realistic?

Shaping Research Skills in Online Courses

Teaching online credit courses is a great way for librarians to work with students to develop their research skills. This presentation will illustrate how librarians can address these students’ needs through classes that utilize instructional techniques and tools that focus learning on the research process in addition to research products. The first part of the presentation will review recent themes in online research instruction. In the second part the presenter will provide examples from his own teaching using Googledocs and Zotero in an undergraduate online course. After attending this presentation attendees will be able to: -Understand current themes in librarian-delivered credit instruction. -Recognize ways in which online collaboration tools can be implemented in support of intensive research learning focused on process rather than research products. -Assess the strengths and weaknesses of a document-based intensive teaching and learning feedback process.
