[RECORDING] Web Literacy standard kick-off online gathering

[Doug Belshaw]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say I've updated http://mzl.la/weblitstd to point towards the recordings of both the first kick-off online gathering and yesterday's repeated session.

Please share widely! :-)

Hi,

I saw a resource that has been developed to conduct participatory monitoring and evaluation of projects to build capacity in information literacy (actually the context is Africa it could be used in a variety of contexts). Although this toolkit does not apply directly to the web literacy standards at all directly, in a slightly tangential way it might be something that someone might glean a few ideas from or could even adapt.

There's a few well thought out tools, like a few nice flowcharts, problem / process trees. It also includes a useful focus on theories of change and use of qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluation.

I know this is not something that is being discussed for the web literacy standards but i thought I'd throw it out there. Once standards are worked on, clearly they can be used in different ways to encourage change, and change can be monitored and evaluated in different ways. So this kind of tool might land in that bucket I guess, maybe one for the web lit standard resource library even.

This link should give you access to check out the materials:

Hi Tom,

Thanks for this! I like the way that they've packaged up in a way that's easy-to-use for educators. We need to remember to do this so what we present appears coherent to those having to apply this in formal education environments!

Having said that, I think part of the work that Carla Casilli is doing around badge pathways shows just how complex even *trying* to do something similar for Web Literacy standard stuff would be!

Keep sharing the resources,
