CARLI is pleased to offer a course with Acting Head of Scholarly Commons and Copyright Librarian at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Sara Benson. This course is designed for the Illinois SCOERs grantees and is open to all CARLI members. In creating Open Educational Resources you might find that you need to use an article or image that has traditional copyright. If you must use a copyright protected item, learn about how to conduct a fair use analysis and, in the alternative, how to ask for permission to use a copyright protected item in your work.

If you are interested in attending, please pre-register for the event.

In our work, most of us have created content for a presentation, but have you taken the steps to ensure the content that you share is accessible to the widest audience possible? This presentation will give you the tools to begin. After a general overview on digital accessibility, we will delve into the nitty gritty of creating accessible slide presentations. The presenter will demonstrate how to create accessible presentations using Google Slides and Microsoft Powerpoint. We will cover layout options, titles, contrast ratio, colors and fonts, link text and alternative text, animations, speakers notes, and tools for checking accessibility.

This demonstration and talk will present two products developed as digital twins of nature using geospatial datasets, visualized in an immersive augmented reality application, The AR Perpetual Garden App, and a virtual reality application, The Virtual UCF Arboretum. Both have been used in IRB approved research studies on learning outcomes that have shown learning gains up to 40% but were no different than a booklet. Many important emotions were found to be strongly, positively, and significantly correlated to learning gains, increasing engagement, motivation, and possibly long-term retention.  The design process, development, and evaluation of the learning outcomes will be covered. This talk may be of interest to anyone who wishes to construct effective immersive informal learning applications of the natural world for communication, learning, and engagement. 

Presenter:
Maria C. R. Harrington Ph.D. is an American information scientist and artist. She is an Associate Professor of Digital Media, in the Games and Interactive Media Program, Nicholson School of Communication and Media at the University of Central Florida.

Start With Students: A Virtual Chat with the Executive Director of Project Information Literacy, Dr. Alison Head.

Date: 12-1 pm on Wednesday, April 12, 2023

Description:

The CARLI Instruction Committee in partnership with the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign would like to invite you to a Zoom virtual chat with Dr. Alison Head, Executive Director of Project Information Literacy (PIL).

Centering around the question “Why do most students use campus libraries, but far fewer turn to librarians for help?,” Dr. Head will lead an engaging discussion highlighting major findings from PIL’s twelve studies about student research for courses and everyday life. These findings will highlight what students can teach us about their information habits and strategies. PIL’s model for the undergraduate research process as a tool for building student success and use of library services will be discussed as well. Dr. Head will draw from the 2022 report “The Project Information Literacy Retrospective: Insights from more than a decade of information literacy research, 2008-2022” to frame the discussion on how PIL’s empirical research findings can inform information literacy and library practice.
