Description/Abstract: | This session is about integration. It models an approach to providing workshops on integrating academic sources into assessment texts, which addresses both academic and information literacies. These team-taught workshops have resulted from interprofessional collaboration between a Learning Development Tutor and Learning and Teaching Librarian. They are practical embedded sessions in which students engage in the practices required of them by their current assessments. As well as providing context for the development of information literacies, the workshops offer a contextually relevant focus on often neglected processes involved in reading-to-write. They also resist the division of these processes into discrete transferrable skills, as can often be the case. The approach has emerged from closer collaboration arising out of a recent institutional reorganisation and the creation of a new Leaning Enhancement and Support team. This coincided with a move away from ‘deficit’ model and towards timetabled embedded provision. The integrated approach appears to have facilitated widespread commitment to the provision among academic course leaders and subject specialists. The session itself will model this new approach with delegates working collaboratively on short texts and integrating sources taken from the Academic Literacies and Information Literacies literature. This will be followed by a reflective discussion on the challenges and potential of the approach taken. |
