DESCRIPTION: Information Literacy, Digital Literacy, Visual Literacy, Media Literacy, Spatial Literacy…

• How are we defining “critical literacies” on our campuses?
• What “literacy” skills do our students need to succeed as undergraduate students and graduates?
• What is the “right” time to introduce/reinforce them? Is there an ideal format?
• How are we assessing levels of understanding in our students and/or our programming?
• Who are our campus partners in addressing literacies across the curriculum?
• Where do our efforts fit within a student’s K-16 experience?

We will tackle these questions together in this mixed-format SIG including examples of existing literacy programs and group discussion. Participants should bring goals, program examples, questions and challenges from their own institutions.
