Information literacy instruction continues to be a cornerstone of the library profession, and it is imperative that future library professionals keep pace with advances in instruction methodologies and new technologies. This certificate provides the foundation for library professionals to become effective teachers and instructional designers. Course topics include Information literacy pedagogy, instructional design principles, online learning and assessment of learning outcomes. You will complete a capstone or internship project, where you will receive hands-on practice in information literacy instruction. You will also examine teaching and learning from different cultural perspectives and how culture and language play a role in how students learn in different environments. This certificate is designed to be either a stand-alone online program or stacked with our M.A. in Library and Information Science program, requiring only one extra course beyond those required for the M.A., assuming proper course planning. It allows you to complete a distinct specialty that is identified on your transcripts.
