Applications Open for Workshop on Information Literacy and Technological Agility Competency

Syracuse University Libraries

Syracuse University Libraries is accepting applications for its faculty Information Literacy and Technological Agility (ILTA) professional development workshop, to be held on Jan. 7, 2025. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Bird Library.

This is the third time the workshop is being offered, thanks to generous support from the Libraries and the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Participants will receive a $500 stipend after successful completion. The workshop is limited to 10 faculty participants and applications are due by Dec. 15.

During the workshop, librarians will assist faculty in creating new or adapting existing assignments that will allow students to demonstrate their learning in a way that aligns with the ILTA rubric. The workshop is facilitated by Kelly Delevan, information literacy librarian, and John Stawarz, online learning librarian.

“This workshop was extremely helpful in getting me to re-think this assignment as well as other assignments in this course (and other classes). I plan to incorporate more components that emphasize critical reflection on processes of research and building skills in evaluation of research,” says Christopher Hanson, associate professor of English in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Faculty are encouraged to apply if they currently teach a course that has been approved for an ILTA tag, are considering adding the ILTA tag to a course that they teach or are interested in designing or redesigning an assignment that will enable their students to meet the learning outcomes as described in the ILTA rubric.

During the workshop, participants will:

  • Revise or create an assignment or learning activity that can be assessed using the ILTA rubric
  • Discover learning strategies and pedagogies that enable students to demonstrate their information literacy skills
  • Interact with faculty members from outside their discipline to build community
  • Learn how the Libraries can support them in enhancing their assignments to incorporate diverse resources
  • Share their new/revised assignments to a ILTA assignment repository maintained by the Libraries
  • Share what they learned with faculty in their respective departments

“The guide Kelly and John created with the rubric and resources for the ILTA competency was the most helpful aspect. I was able to incorporate the appropriate language into my course assignment and resources that address the ‘inclusivity’ item on the rubric,” says Sevinç Türkkan, assistant teaching professor of writing studies, rhetoric and composition in the College of Arts and Sciences.

For more information on the workshop, contact Delevan at kkdeleva@syr.edu.
