Student Podcasting Assignments: Merging Information Literacy and Technology Training in the College Classroom

The CSB/SJU Libraries and CSB/SJU Instructional Technology (formerly Media Services) staff have recently started partnering with faculty from several departments on student podcasting assignments. This session will go over assignment details, the free and relatively simple-to-use technologies we employ, and the supporting documents and resources we’ve developed to support student success. We’ll examine how common information literacy learning objectives for more traditional, paper-based assignments map to podcasting assignments. Session presenters will also address the strengths we each bring to this project (i.e., expertise in information literacy instruction versus technology training and support) and how our shared contributions have led to stronger project design and implementation
