You as Knowledge Creator

Short Description

Students self-reflect on ways in which they do research and create knowledge. This is a discussion topic in an online library research class. My students are mostly adult learners with full-time jobs.

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to articulate a situation in their life where they conduct research, create knowledge, and share it with others.

Participation Type

Potential Pitfalls and Teaching Tips

It might be nice to have the students read something on metaliteracy, because that is what they are doing here--self-reflecting on research and knowledge creation. But I have gotten as far as that, identifying and giving them a reading.

Course Context (e.g. how it was implemented or integrated):

A graded discussion in a 1-credit, online, library research class.
