Abstract: Visual literacy remains an elusive topic for librarians, despite its prominence in museum literature and other academic disciplines. As part of the newly established Collaborative Learning Center in the Bass Library, a team of Yale librarians is collaborating with experts across the campus to create a toolset to support student and faculty development of visual literacy skills. These colleagues work in such departments as libraries, Center for Language Study, the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Instructional Technology Group. This team will present a summary of current literature, propose a working definition of Visual Literacy, describe the Center and process of collaborative development of an instructional toolset, and highlight three of the instructional settings used to design and assess the toolset. Discussion with the audience members will be welcome.

Abstract: More than a decade after the Web began, cyberculture develops rapidly,
offering new forms for communication and information. As the academy
gradually extended itself into databases and course management systems,
the world has populated diverse and booming social media networks. We
will focus on two emergent areas, Web 2.0 and gaming, exploring their
implications for higher education and emergent opportunities for
teaching and learning. Networked pedagogy, information fluency, Library
2.0, citizen media and other topics will be raised.
