From the Digital Library Pedagogy Group (#DLFteach):
We are excited to announce the release of #DLFteach Toolkit Volume 4: Critical Digital Literacies, an open-access resource designed to support both information professionals and educators.
With a thematic focus on critical digital literacies, Volume 4 of the Toolkit offers adaptable lesson plans and learning objects that help learners develop the skills necessary to consume and create information in a digital landscape, as well as the habits of mind necessary to understand and critique information systems and their underlying power structures. It encourages both skills-based outcomes and contextual thinking, making clear the inequities and structural biases of many digital tools.
Instructors using the Toolkit will learn strategies for promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and digital pedagogy in their teaching practices, helping learners engage thoughtfully with emerging technologies and enact strategies to correct inequities of use and impact.
Please feel free to make the Toolkit your own, and to share it with interested colleagues and professional networks!
Those interested in editing future volumes of the DLFTeach Toolkits can contact Alex Wermer-Colan (alex.wermer-colan@temple.edu).
