Tiered Assessment

Tier Two: Mason Library's Information Literacy Program

Data gathered from Blackboard and LibGuides use

IL units, designed by librarians, embedded into Blackboard courses and LibGuides

Collection of learning outcomes from research questions at the reference desk

when a reference question is identified as a "research" question (a question that requires a significant amount of time and some development of skill) the librarian identifies the relevant IL learning outcomes addressed. When possible, the student elects to provide information about which course the question is from, and their stauts (freshman, sophmore, junior, senior, grad).

Data collection on number of faculty worked with, and from which departments

This provides an overall view of where we are working and where we are not. Also provides information on the level, overall, of courses that we work with, 100, 200, 300, 400, etc.

Identification of Information Literacy Student Learning Outcomes Taught for courses

collecting data on which courses librarians work with and for which IL outcomes. this includes librarin led instruction and units that might be provided to support faculty, and not librarian led instruction.

Classroom Assessment Techniques

focus on performance assessments and collection of student artifacts in sessions. Librarians quickly assess the artifacts collected. individually to provide feedback to students and faculty in aggregate. Then at the end of the semester librarians assess a random sample of artifacts collected from sessions taught for core courses in the general education program or within a department using a common rubric.

Tier One: Campus Information Literacy Program

Campus Map of Intellectual Skill Development

Map of intellectual skills and where they are being developed in the general education program. Includes both where the skills are being developed, as well as, in some cases how well students are doing.

Collegiate Learning Assessment

Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills test (SAILS)

benchmarks students information literacy skills

Department Curriculum and Assessment Reports

help to determine where information literacy instruction would be helpful to address concerns and challenges that departments are experiencing

Intellectual Skills Rubrics Assessment (General Education Program)

used to help determine/benchmark students level of information literacy development
