Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Visual literacy has a long history in Academia; in the 1960's John Debbs founded the International Visual Literacy Association. More recently, ACRL has developed its own standards for Visual Literacy: See http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/visualliteracy

In this hands-on workshop we will focus on the critical evaluation of visual images; I will provide participants with a definition of visual literacy and a selected bibliography of sources on teaching information literacy and lead participants through two exercises in visual literacy.
