Using and Synthesizing Information
Using and Synthesizing Information
Goal: The goal of this forum is to synthesize information about a specific topic and discuss this topic with peers.
Course Objective(s):
CO1 Explain the need for accurate and responsible information literacy in the contemporary digital world.
CO8 Synthesize information from multiple scholarly sources and communicate information with clarity and depth via a multimedia project.
Description:
Information and digital literacy impacts the decision-making process in multiple ways from academic research to personal interest. More than ever before, information is at our fingertips and coming at us with lightning speed. How do we sift and use this information? Step 4 of the Big 6 model relates to our use of information and the process of engaging and extracting relevant information. Next, Step 5 of the Big 6 approach focuses on synthesis of information.
I’ve set-up four (4) conversation groups this week in which you will select one or more topics to discuss which are of high interest to you.
Health and Wellness
Buying a Car
Hobbies
Vacations
To begin engaging in this forum, choose one of the conversation groups. Select a topic reference source from the web, which you deem credible and reliable. Read the source, extract the information and consider how you will engage your group members in the topic and information from the source. Be sure to include source attribution. As you are reading your source, consider the following:
How will you synthesize and present the content of the source to share?
What do you want your group members to know, and what do they need to know?
How will you share the information so that the content is clear and concise?
This is an opportunity for you to practice use of information and synthesis as you share with one another your own knowledge combined with a supporting source.
At a minimum, participate in one group, although you are welcome to participate in all group threads. Once the conversation is flowing, participate substantially with your peers to teach one another. Max of 7 people per group.
