Teaching Information Literacy Cohorts are intended for instructors who are interested in completing the Teaching Information Literacy course with other instructors. Participants all begin the course at the same time and have a chance to interact with the course facilitator and other cohort members in the course modules and during synchronous cohort meetings.
During the period of the cohort, participants are expected (although not required) to:
- Complete all 6 modules of the course over the period of the cohort (usually 4-5 weeks). In modules 1-5, this includes a requirement to post to the module discussion boards and submit a short reflection at the end of the module. Reminders are provided throughout the cohort period of course deadlines.
- Attend 3-5 synchronous discussion sessions related to course modules. Dates TBD, based on cohort offerings.
- Complete and submit a participant workbook, with activities related to each module. The final component of the workbook, to be completed in Module 6, is the Information Literacy Action Plan.
After submitting their Action Plan, participants are eligible to apply for the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement through the Drake Institute.
Teaching Information Literacy Cohorts are offered 1-2 times per year. The next cohort is scheduled to begin in June or July 2022. To indicate interest in joining the next cohort, email Jane Hammons (hammons.73@osu.edu).
