Short online courses: credit-bearing IL class; Fake news; Inclusive learning design

Library Juice Academy short online courses in April 2022

- Developing a Credit-Bearing Information Literacy Course (cost US $200.00; Dates: April 4 - May 1). Tutor: Jessica Critten
"The one-shot is still the most common mode of teaching information literacy, so most library-focused professional development opportunities reasonably focus on that model. However, that leaves librarians who are asked to teach a semester-long information literacy course to seek strategies elsewhere. This class is designed to fill that gap, to translate skills honed in one-shots to a new format." https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/125-developing-credit-bearing-information-literacy-course/ 

- Addressing Misinformation and Fake News: Resources and Strategies (cost US $200.00; Dates: April 4 - May 1). Tutor: Sarah Morris
"This course introduces librarians to the topic of misinformation and provides them with resources, definitions, approaches, and strategies they can employ in their institutions to address the topic of misinformation with patrons. Each section of this online course provides participants with resources, tools, studies, and readings they can explore, opportunities for hands-on exploration, and chances to apply what they learn about misinformation to their home institutions and programs." https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/190-addressing-misinformation-fake-news/ 

- Inclusive Instructional Design (cost US $200.00; Dates: April 4 - May 1). Tutors: Kristina Clement and Samantha Peter
"This course is for librarians and archivists who: teach information, digital, archival, or data literacy sessions; designs tutorials, resources, or guides for users; and/or are interested in accessibility and inclusion in information literacy. Librarians and archivists encounter a diverse group of users in their work to share information; some of these users may include people with disabilities, first-generation students, adult learners, and more. In order to make our information literacy practice accessible to all, it is important to incorporate elements of Inclusive Instructional Design. Inclusive Instructional Design is a highly effective blend of Universal Design for Learning, Backwards Design, Accessibility, Community Building, and Reflective Assessment that can be incorporated into information literacy instruction and learning objects. Inclusive Instructional Design accounts for visible and invisible disabilities, learning styles, and communication styles to provide equitable access to information in any learning environment. As information literacy instruction and access to information is at the core of what many information professionals do, it is important to design instruction and learning objects to intentionally be as inclusive as possible. This course will introduce simple ways to incorporate Inclusive Instructional Design into information literacy instruction and guide participants through each of these pedagogical principles using readings, activities, and discussions." https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/258-inclusive-instructional-design/
