Download or read book The Survey of Best Practices in Developing Online Information Literacy Tutorials 06 2013 written by Primary Research Group and published by Primary Research Group Inc. This book was released on 2013 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Survey of Best Practices in Developing Online Information Literacy Tutorials is a benchmarking report for online tutorial development, presenting a wealth of information on the practices involved in and the cost of developing online information literacy tutorials. The 285-page report also looks at how tutorials are marketed and accessed, and at popular access points such as Facebook, the library website and others, as well as how tutorials are used in for-credit classes and more ad-hoc use. The study looks at how tutorial designers are trained, and at how they inter-relate to non-library departments and other departments of the library. The study also looks at the use of tutorials of other colleges and vendor-produced tutorials, and at efforts to evaluate how students use tutorials, and how colleges should make decisions on what kinds of tutorials to produce and how to best produce them. The questionnaire for the report was largely developed by librarians at the University of Arizona libraries.

Download or read book Access Denied written by Ronald Deibert and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008-01-25 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of Internet blocking and filtering around the world: analyses by leading researchers and survey results that document filtering practices in dozens of countries. Many countries around the world block or filter Internet content, denying access to information that they deem too sensitive for ordinary citizens—most often about politics, but sometimes relating to sexuality, culture, or religion. Access Denied documents and analyzes Internet filtering practices in more than three dozen countries, offering the first rigorously conducted study of an accelerating trend. Internet filtering takes place in more than three dozen states worldwide, including many countries in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Related Internet content-control mechanisms are also in place in Canada, the United States and a cluster of countries in Europe. Drawing on a just-completed survey of global Internet filtering undertaken by the OpenNet Initiative (a collaboration of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, the Oxford Internet Institute at Oxford University, and the University of Cambridge) and relying on work by regional experts and an extensive network of researchers, Access Denied examines the political, legal, social, and cultural contexts of Internet filtering in these states from a variety of perspectives. Chapters discuss the mechanisms and politics of Internet filtering, the strengths and limitations of the technology that powers it, the relevance of international law, ethical considerations for corporations that supply states with the tools for blocking and filtering, and the implications of Internet filtering for activist communities that increasingly rely on Internet technologies for communicating their missions. Reports on Internet content regulation in forty different countries follow, with each two-page country profile outlining the types of content blocked by category and documenting key findings.

Download or read book Designing Online Information Literacy Games Students Want to Play written by Karen Markey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing Online Information Literacy Games Students Want to Play sets the record straight with regard to the promise of games for motivating and teaching students in educational environments. The authors draw on their experience designing the BiblioBouts information literacy game, deploying it in dozens of college classrooms across the country, and evaluating its effectiveness for teaching students how to conduct library research. The multi-modal evaluation of BiblioBouts involved qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and analyses. Drawing on the evaluation, the authors describe how students played this particular information literacy game and make recommendations for the design of future information literacy games. You’ll learn how the game’s design evolved in response to student input and how students played the game including their attitudes about playing games to develop information literacy skills and concepts specifically and playing educational games generally. The authors describe how students benefited as a result of playing the game. Drawing from their own first-hand experience, research, and networking, the authors feature best practices that educators and game designers in LIS specifically and other educational fields generally need to know so that they build classroom games that students want to play. Best practices topics covered include pre-game instruction, rewards, feedback, the ability to review/change actions, ideal timing, and more. The final section of the book covers important concepts for future information literacy game design.
