Employer Expectations
“…baseline information competencies… knowing how and where to find information online, without much guidance, to use a search strategy beyond the first page of Google results, and to articulate a ‘best solution’ and conclusion from all that was found.” [emphasis added]

literacy learning modules… easily incorporated into existing discipline courses and… available to students at all times”
plus• “Alpha” stage learning object system

What Is a Module?• A module is a complete, automated instructional resource
(no instructor intervention required).
• Each module based upon one identified learning outcome and contains content presentation, practice with feedback, and assessment of learning.
• Each module object is completable in one sitting (no more than 30 minutes).
• Designed for assigning by instructors or student self-selection
![Page 18: Cultivating Information Literacy Among Students: Lessons Learned from UCF’s Info Lit Mods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547c9eaab4af9fa0158b51ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is a Module?
• Content presentation may be text, graphics, video, interactive media, or a combination as appropriate.
• Practice/Assessment may be “traditional” (i.e., true/false or multiple choice) or “non-traditional” (e.g., simulation/authentic assessment) as appropriate.

Terminology
• Module = complete, automated instructional resource (no instructor intervention required).
• Instance = module version provided to one group of students with group-specific settings
• Completion = submission of an assessment attempt
![Page 29: Cultivating Information Literacy Among Students: Lessons Learned from UCF’s Info Lit Mods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547c9eaab4af9fa0158b51ba/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How Are We Doing?
Between June 23, 2008 – October 3, 2014 there have been:
209,287 "completions" by 37,584 students taught by 415 faculty who created 6602 instances of 15 modules with an average score of 83.89% across all modules’ summative assessments
In end-of-term questionnaires...•Most faculty say they assign modules as stand-alone graded assignments.•On average, faculty report moderate impact on student knowledge/skills.•Few technical problems. (6% of student respondents indicate problems hindering completion. Tech support logs show far fewer numbers.)•On average, students say they have prior experience with content but get value from practice/feedback and find that the summative assessments accurately gauge their competence.

So How’s It Going?Findings From 8/23/2013 - 10/6/2014
![Page 48: Cultivating Information Literacy Among Students: Lessons Learned from UCF’s Info Lit Mods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547c9eaab4af9fa0158b51ba/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Initial Data
40,080 - assessments that should have delivered a badge
41,170 - badges sent via institutional email addresses
12,799 - individual students who’ve earned badges
168 - students earning badges from non-assigned mods
136 (34 students) - Number of badges claimed via Credly
![Page 49: Cultivating Information Literacy Among Students: Lessons Learned from UCF’s Info Lit Mods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547c9eaab4af9fa0158b51ba/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Observations
• Earners driven by assignment (currently)
• Watching for student-driven uptick later
• Potential value in each phase of badging:
○ Notification email
○ Claiming (“Save and Share”)
○ Making public
○ Linking to specific badges

Regrouping Mode
• Funding cuts after 5+ years• New development on hiatus• Maintenance = Annual review/revision• High-change topics →non-module format?• More diverse array of infolit resources• Consider “thinning” slate of modules
![Page 52: Cultivating Information Literacy Among Students: Lessons Learned from UCF’s Info Lit Mods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547c9eaab4af9fa0158b51ba/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
