Broadcasting the Framework: Podcasting in a one-credit information literacy class

Abstract

St. Ambrose University, where I teach, requires that students take a one-credit graded information literacy course, IL101, geared toward first-year and transfer students and conducted either once a week for sixteen weeks or twice a week for eight. As I prepared for the 2019 school year, I was casting about for new assignments to better demonstrate the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, looking for real-world applications, which, I find, work well for my students, who often believe that they already know how to conduct research and craft a bibliography.
