This document discusses digital labor and how people's online activities can be considered work. It explores how companies collect and analyze user data from social media, online purchases, and other digital interactions to target ads and commodify information. While some see this as a fair exchange for using free services, others argue it exploits users and can influence them without their full awareness or consent. The document suggests ways to help students critically examine their online presence and value both the data and content they generate intentionally or unintentionally through normal online activities.Goldilocks Research Questions
Goldilocks Research Questionslmwallis
油
This document discusses the "Goldilocks Theory" for developing research questions. It identifies three types of research questions: those that are too little, too big, or just right.

Well-developed research questions that are "just right" leave room for discovery and debate while focusing the research scope. The document provides examples to illustrate each type and offers strategies for refining questions to find the "just right" balance.Teaching with the Lonely Tablet

Lauren Wallis developed an Instagram library tour program for English 101 classes at the University of Montevallo to make library instruction more engaging for students. Small groups of students used the library's iPads to take pictures around the library, add captions and hashtags, and post to Instagram. This active learning approach helped reduce library anxiety while teaching students about library resources and controlled vocabulary. The program was successful in reaching most freshmen and achieved its student learning outcomes. Wallis hopes to expand the program to other classes and increase faculty outreach.Student-Centered Academic Libraries
