NGLI 1101 Class overview
Overview NGLI 1101 was developed to teach you how to think critically & find relevant information, as well as how to evaluate and interpret the information you find. This course goes beyond navigating SHSU-specific resources (though we will cover this). This section was built with a grant to aid us in developing our skills and putting them into practice by working with a team of editors at Wikipedia.
GroupWork This is a requirement for all NGLI 1101 courses. We will meet this requirement through: VoiceThread Discussion Boards Peer Review & Comments on the TalkPage in the Wikipedia course page Part of being information literate is also being able to communicate, which is what you are doing with these discussion boards & VoiceThreads.
Wikipedia We are partnering with Wikipedia to develop & practice information literacy skills. The end goal is to create a Wikipedia entry/article that will be published in their space. 500 word minimum Guidelines & rubric will be provided We will complete training to use their space & create content. Completed training will earn completion points. Everything will be built towards during the units.
Syllabus Read it. Located under Syllabus on the left menu in our course
Q&A Post your course questions to the Q&A section on the left menu in the course (dont leave personal information since this is visible to all). Help each other with answers. I will respond to Q&A within 24 hours M-F. Im not available on weekends. Direct ALL Blackboard technical issues to Blackboard Help. (Left menu under Help.)
LateWork All work is expected to be completed and is necessary to move forward to the course goals. Late work will be reduced by %10 each day it is late. Exceptional circumstance may ariseemail me privately. If you register late to class, you will have the opportunity to receive full points by a certain due date as determined based on your registration date. Email me privately.
Grading Everything is graded (except Q&A). This helps you earn points in case you miss an assignment or dont do as well as expected elsewhere. Points are cumulative. You can earn up to 1000. Extra credit is available. You must complete regular credit work in the unit on time. EC is posted in the units where its available. My goal is to have your grades posted within 72 hours of the due date/time.
TechIssues Contact Blackboard (Bb) Help. Then email me IF Bb tells you to or if the issue interrupts your due date/grade. There must be a record with Bb and proof of the technical error.
