Instruction/ Information Literacy

Information Literacy activities reinforce the work done in the classroom and assist faculty and students in the use of research tools. In order to assist students in their academic work, the Coordinator of Instruction collaborates directly with instructors in a team teaching setting. She provides assistance with, and advice on, effective strategies for the integration, delivery, and evaluation of Information Literacy Competencies within the College’s curricula.

 

All requests for Information Literacy collaboration should be directed to Fran Apollo at x5858 or apollof@cobleskill.edu. Please make your initial contact at least 2 weeks before the planned classroom activity. Librarians can be available for day, evening and Saturday classes.

Audio Instruction Podcasts

 

An introduction to educational podcasting:


What is a podcast?
Commonly known as a method of downloading audio files. However, for our purposes here in higher education, it is used as a method for delivering audio instructional content. 



Why podcast?
It’s just another method to deliver instructional information or academic support. Some people learn better by reading others find listening strengthens the learning experience.
