Creating Informed Learners in the Classroom – Project Call Out

Do you have students who struggle to effectively use evidence in your class projects, efficiently use disciplinary processes to make decisions, or value and make use of different types of information in your course?

The Creating Informed Learners in the Classroom (CILC) project will help you create or enhance student projects and learning activities that teach your students information strategies to help them succeed in the course and beyond.

A collaboration of Purdue University, University of Arizona (UA), and University of Nebraska, Lincoln (UNL), in the CILC project you will pair up with a librarian from your institution to develop a student project that you will implement in one of your courses in Spring 2021 or Fall 2021.

CILC project meetings will be held online. Participants from all three institutions will attend four 75-minute Zoom meetings taking place on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. (EST), 1 p.m. (CST), or 11 a.m. (MST) starting the last week of September. Leveraging our collective wisdom, we will work together on the following topics:

• September 29^th - Overview & Identifying Learning Goals
• October 6^th  - Scaffolding Learning Activities & Assessments
• October 13^th - Assessment Rubric Working Session
• October 20^th - Student Project Presentation and Rubric Completion

To keep the project on track, all participants need to attend at least three of the meetings.

Upon completion of the CILC project, you will receive a $1000 stipend.

More information and the application form is available on the CILC project website at http://sites.lib.purdue.edu/cilc/. Applications are due by Tuesday, September 11^th.

When you fill out the application, please mention if you have a specific librarian at your institution with whom you are interested in working.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact us at cilc@purdue.edu.
