January: Applying the ACRL Information Literacy Framework to Your Teaching
When: Wednesday, January 15, 2020
Time: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. (Central)

As part of the webinar you’ll develop learning outcomes for a class assignment, and you’ll begin to integrate threshold concepts into your instruction using active learning strategies and classroom assessment techniques.
