Dear Immersion participants,
Thank you for registering for the ACRL Immersion program-at-Cornell. The program will take place May 21-24, 2012, in the Stern Conference Room, 160 Mann Library.
This program will give CUL instructors' the opportunity to enhance their teaching skills, build their knowledge of assessment, and see how their instruction fits in the larger context of an information literacy program. This is the first time that ACRL has customized its Immersion program for an institution, and the faculty leading the program (see bios, below) are very excited about the opportunity. We have shared feedback with the faculty based on last summer's All Instructors' Summit, as well as general information about the nature of CUL's instruction programs. We will be developing a Pre-Immersion Assessment survey, which will be a chance for you to share your thoughts about....
As we draw closer to the start of the program, please watch for the following communication:
- ACRL will extend an invitation to every participant to join Moodle, where pre-Immersion readings and will be posted
- A pre-Immersion meeting to discuss the Strategic Planning Group's goals and objectives for CUL's Information Literacy Program;
- Pre-Immersion Assessment
