Friends,
Dee Fink just sent me this article that Trudi Jacobson has submitted to Communications in Information Literacy.
It is about using TBL in an Information Literacy class, which I find particularly interesting because information literacy is a crucial skill that students need more and more preparation with.
I know there are a few Information Science/Librarian folks active in the Collaborative, so I hope they get some tasty morsels from this.
Outside the I-Science/Library world, teachers at UT across many disciplines are including information literacy assignments early in their courses, so students learn these skills "embedded" within the disciplinary content of the course.
Thanks, Dee!

Subject: Fwd: TBL in an Information Literacy Course Article
Hi Folks,
After a recent visit to SUNY-Albany to do a course design workshop, one of the faculty members there sent me this email below and a copy of the article she has had accepted for publication, about her use of TBL in an Information Literacy course.
The faculty developer there, Bill Roberson, has been promoting TBL very effectively.
Perhaps there is some way to share this article with people in the Cooperative?
If so, you have Trudi's email address here.
Enjoy!
Dee

Hello Dee,
It was very nice to meet you after yesterday's workshop, and have a chance to talk about TBL in information literacy courses. I enjoyed your workshop very much, and will be sharing your ideas with others in my department. You had asked to see a copy of the article I mentioned, and you will find it attached. It will be published in a forthcoming issue of Communications in Information Literacy. You will see your name in the reference list!
I'll send a copy off to Patty Iannuzzi, too, mentioning your suggestion that I do so.
I hope that your travel will not be disrupted by Irene.
Best regards,
Trudi
