Rev Up Information Literacy Assessment: Use Rubrics to Close That Loop!
Wednesday, May 7 (pre-conference)
12:00-4:00pm
This workshop offers “lessons learned” from one institution’s experience through two rounds of RAILS (Rubric Assessment of Information Literacy Skills) project, an IMLS-funded study. Led by RAILS-trained librarians, this session will introduce participants to using rubrics to assess information literacy learning. As RAILS participants discovered, the most important step in working with a rubric is norming. Workshop facilitators will lead participants through norming a rubric and rating student work samples in order to model an information literacy instruction assessment cycle. Return to your instruction with the knowledge and ability to start a rubric assessment initiative.
Lunch will be served in the restaurant from 12:00 to 1:00pm. This program is worth 3 contact hours of continuing education.
