LALT 1020 - Libraries and Learning Technologies (0 cr.)
Prerequisites
LALT 1020 has to be taken no later than the semester in which RHET 1020 is taken.
Description
Information literacy IL (and digital literacy) is fundamental to all disciplines at the university-level and is a pillar of lifelong learning in the 21st century in an online, digital, and informational age. Digital and informational skills begin before you arrive at university, are critical to academic success while at AUC, and will then continue after you graduate, as a foundation to navigate the world around you. This course is a core curriculum requirement for all students and is designed to help you develop important research skills through exposure to IL concepts and library technologies. You will learn to find, evaluate, and cite information in an academic context. You will also learn how to think more critically about the different types of information that you encounter every day and how to apply that to various aspects of your academic, professional, and personal lives. You will examine concepts of popular and scholarly information, peer review, primary and secondary sources, authority, and explore how those intersecting ideas impact your research approach on any topic. Additionally, you will become more comfortable using both the physical and online resources that the library has to offer in support of your academic learning and work at AUC.
Notes
This is an online, self-paced course with only the Final Exam proctored and taken face-to-face at the end of the semester.
