INFO 3050 - Living an Informed Life through Information Literacy

3 Credit(s)

We continually engage with the information ecosystem for work, school, and in our free time. We post information on social media, read articles and newspapers, listen to podcasts, watch documentaries, and write blog posts and letters to our politicians. This course introduces students to the various literacies needed to navigate this information ecosystem, such as media literacy, visual literacy, and data literacy, among others. The course also helps students understand some of the behavioral, affective, cognitive, and metacognitive aspects of our information interactions.
