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

More information and the application form is available on the Creating Informed Learners in the Classroom project website. Applications are due Sept. 15.

A collaboration of Purdue University, University of Arizona and University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the project instructors will pair up with a librarian from their institution to develop a student project to implement in one of their courses Spring 2021 or Fall 2021.

Creating Informed Learners in the Classroom project meetings will be held online. Participants from all three institutions will attend four 75-minute Zoom meetings taking place on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. (CST) starting the last week of September. Leveraging our collective wisdom, we will work together on the following topics:

• Sept. 29 - Overview and Identifying Learning Goals

• Oct. 6 - Scaffolding Learning Activities & Assessments

• Oct. 13 - Assessment Rubric Working Session

• Oct. 20 - 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 project, instructors will receive a $1000 stipend.

Email cilc@purdue.edu with any questions about the project.
