Session 2 of FY23 PBC Idea Group 1: Skills Development for Pitt Faculty and Students by https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx This group brings together ideas related to enhancing ULS efforts in teaching and learning outcomes using primary sources; an initiative aimed at combating misinformation and disinformation or perhaps a larger effort working with instructors to improve critical thinking (or information literacy) skills; and improving online systems or guides for effective discovery of library and university resources. Reminder: PBC projects can be most successful if created with an outward focus that includes the university as a whole, the greater Pittsburgh community, and the global research community. en-us 2021-10-14 18:37:08 UTC 2021-10-21 15:42:16 UTC hello@padlet.com I believe Rachel is already working on a project with the disinformation lab on this topic. Marc Ross is helping out with an idea of working with nursing students. https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831099715 2021-10-20 17:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831099715 By providing outreach to programs on campus to those students who may be a little more fragile in their admissions circumstances (provisional, TRIO, weaker school district, etc.) to proactively assist them in this arena. I am of the belief that students in the categories aforementioned are more likely to need these services. crystalw1 https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831103347 2021-10-20 17:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831103347 Support for Instructors https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104272 Provide research assignment design support for instructors through workshops, modules, meetings, etc.]]> 2021-10-20 17:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104272 https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104673 A very long time ago we talked about a badging program. Students would complete different library workshops/programs/assignments and earn badges. The badges would translate into some sort of certification. I think this could be done for learning different information literacy skills/strategies and make it "fun".]]> 2021-10-20 17:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104673 https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104928  Teach people how to use social media in a healthy way- how to identify and prevent the spread of misinformation on social networks, how to minimize its negative impact on mental health, how to talk about misinformation on social media with family and friends in a productive manner. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831104928 I like the idea in the local findings report of creating a community of practice which focuses on using primary sources -- is that in development or is that something that could be encouraged to happen by a PBC action https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831109148 2021-10-20 17:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831109148 First year seminar https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831109343 Librarians can collaborate with faculty of first year seminar sections to include timely topics regarding mis and dis information into courses.

"You should use these databases because you pay for them, and they give you better information that Google Scholar". This clearly connects our resources to their enrollment in Pitt and helps ensure better info literacy and gives tools to determine misinformation. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831110124 https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831113460 cooperate in creating modules like case studies of examples from the past that could be examined or compared with current circumstances or modules on risk analysis/risk perception/use of statistics to evaluate claims made -- things that could be used by librarians or faculty]]> 2021-10-20 17:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831113460 Display how knowledge is constructed https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831114060 I think we already do this, but I want to emphasize the importance of showing students how knowledge is constructed. Showing students how the same evidence is used by different authors to arrive at different conclusions can help students see that ideas are shaped by context, agendas, and bias. Ideas that take hold are generally ideas that originate in a place of power. ]]> 2021-10-20 17:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831114060 https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831115087 Developing Canvas plugins that instructors can easily import into their Canvas pages that direct students to resources (I think they can go in the 'commons' and then any Pitt instructor can access them). ]]> 2021-10-20 17:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831115087 Posters, signage, visual media https://padlet.com/dfrank32/lgq7a55tq12k2zgx/wish/1831115175 Include visuals around campus and the library reminding students and faculty to ask "who said this? what is the source?
