4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
The Competency Based Education Program at Brandman requires students to master an Information Literacy competency early on in their work. This is a competency I am working with others to develop and curate. I am not the writer for this competency, but am editing it, creating the "Checks for Understanding" (CFUs), and creating the summative assessment, a literature review where students will also be required to evaluate the credibility and authority of the source. I will also be training the new tutorial faculty on the requirements for this competency.
As an English professor, I require students to learn at least one citation format, to demonstrate proper citation and attribution of sources, discuss plagiarism, fair use, mashups, and copyright, and assess students on those skills.
The English 104 rubric below was created to meet the "Information Literacy" (Row 6) program learning outcome for Associate of Arts Degree (we offer this as either a fully online or blended program), which primarily includes learning to select credible sources and when, how, and why to cite them. All students in ENGU-104 must fulfill this requirement, even if they are not AA students.
At the Bachelor's level, all students must take our LBSU-302 course, Information Fluency and Academic Integrity, which teaches students these skills at a deeper level, including how to best frame their searches, how to use a variety of online databases for research, and the reasoning behind academic integrity standards. It is this course I am working to translate for the CBE delivery method.
Students in my online classes are asked to read and abide by a netiquette policy, which is also posted below, from the instructor certification course.
