BGSU faculty had to quickly transition to remote learning over the past few months. While transitioning many faculty have decided to implement videos within their courses.

In this workshop instructors will be able to define what microlearning videos are and the benefits of producing this type of video, discuss the steps and best practices involved in creating microlearning videos and be able to determine what platform is best to host videos while keeping in mind best practices for accessibility.

“Information literacy (IL) is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.” (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2015). IL concepts and skills apply to academic assignments, but how are we helping our students transfer those skills to everyday information gathering, particularly in the context of community engagement and preparing active, informed citizens in a democracy? In this workshop, faculty will integrate information literacy knowledge practices and dispositions into a new or existing course unit, assignment, learning activity, or program.
