We will pit sources against each other in a battle to determine the most authoritative source for shifting information needs. Join us in playing, revising, and adapting a lightning-fast instructional game in which students must evaluate and defend the authority of an information source for a given scenario. Workshop participants will develop a scalable bracket activity which acts as a gateway for students to enter the scholarly conversation, demonstrates that information needs are highly contextual, and shows that information literacy can have high stakes for all of us.
Participants will:
Be able to implement an innovative and flexible instructional activity in order to teach and assess source evaluation techniques at their own institution.
