  2. Why Make Web-based Education a Priority for InfoLit Instruction? • Students’ educational expectations • Convenience of virtual space • Reaching the masses

  3. Enhancing Information Literacy Instruction with Tutorials • Allows for progressive reinforcement of information literacy concepts • Time with students can be more advanced and student-centered in-person library instruction • Pre-college tutorials may help better prepare teens for college-level research

  4.

  7. Information Technology / Web Team Support • A web server dedicated to tutorial projects • Ability to support the exploration of a variety of technologies for instruction • Dedicated personnel

  9. Software and Technology Expertise • HTML • PHP • CSS (cascading style sheets) • JavaScript • SQL or Oracle • Macromedia Flash • Adobe Photoshop CS • Adobe Illustrator • Streaming Video and VoIP

  10. Timeline to Complete the Average Tutorial • Tutorials are ongoing projects—they take significant time and nurturing • Average time to build a short, solid tutorial from start to finish can be a little as 3-6 months, but typically takes longer • Initial tutorials are usually launched and “tinkered” with every few months

  11. TRAMS Tutorial • A series of interactive, web-based instructional modules for high school students • Modules based on the AASL Information Literacy Standards, ACRL Information Literacy Standards, and actual student assignments

  12. TRAMS Collaboration: How many minds does it take to create a teen tutorial? • Bridget Kowalczyk, SJSU’s Information Literacy Specialist • Pamela Jackson, SDSU’s Information Literacy Librarian, formerly a librarian at SJSU • Andrea Schacter, SJPL Youth Services Librarian • Dawn Imada, SJPL Youth Services Librarian • Hilary Langhorst, SJPL Web Team Programmer • Jie (Jessie) Cai, Chirag Bhalgami, Veer Vivek Kaushik, Programmers • Wan Si Wan, Eric Szeto, and Nobuko Kimura, SJSU students in Graphic Design and Animation/Illustration. • Mike Adams, TRFT Chair & Ramon Navarro Johnson, KSJS disc jockey: character voiceovers and technical support/use of the KSJS recording studio to capture voiceovers. • Chuck Manthe, Theater instructor and Lincoln High School and none high school theater students providing character voiceovers. • Two local high school teens, consulting the team on ways to present interesting content to their peers. • Focus groups with teensReach, a youth council for the San José Public Library.
