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.

Course Context (e.g. how it was implemented or integrated): 
A graded discussion in a 1-credit, online, library research class.

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.
