This intermediate course to information literacy examines information theories and best practices within a global scholarly discourse instilling students with the ability to find, evaluate, and ethically use information both in- and outside of the classroom. Information literacy enhances the pursuit of knowledge by teaching students to think critically about information and information resources which goes hand-in-hand with Wiki-Edu policies and learning objectives. As the class works through the various threshold concepts of information literacy, I hope to use Wikipedia as the resource to contextually highlight information literacy in practice and give students the opportunity to join the scholarly conversation without feeling like that must publish a paper to do so.
