Module Overview and Description
The SMCC Information Literacy/Fluency Game is an online board game which allows up to 4 students to play, using a question-and-answer format.
Student take turns moving around the board (located right on the computer) answering questions and attempting to get one right answer in each of the following four categories
- Selecting resources
- Searching websites and databases
- Citing sources/avoiding plagiarism
- Library wildcard
When students finish the module, they make informed decisions related to selecting, searching, citing and evaluate resources in the library and on World Wide Web.
Module Needs Analysis
Currently our library instructions have no feed-back loop to assess student’s knowledge and skills using traditional and digital information for academic and personal use. I really don’t know if our SMCC students' efficiently and effectively use information and technology in their academic lives. In this module, I will address how our students are doing concerning Information Literacy/Fluency.
