Session 310 – Pedagogical Implications of Our Information Ecosystem: A Brainstorming Conversation

Gwendolyn J Reece (LIB)

Location: MGC 324

Time: 2:45 – 4:00 PM

We are in the attention economy.  Students currently coming of age have always had their information personalized, filtered by “black box” algorithms, and mediated through technologies that encourage continuous, shallow engagement. How can we help our students gain competence in navigating our complex and often compromised information ecosystem?  After some brief “scene setting,” this session will be a facilitated brainstorming discussion.
