This is a great video for my "working knowledge" section - it helps students understand both the benefits and drawbacks of Wikis and how to best use wikipedia for academic research.
The collection might look something like an interactive, online information literacy "text book" from which librarians or instructors anywhere can select and use pieces as they choose
"how to" video tutorials are an important element in most information literacy sessions and classes. The beauty of CLIP is that the videos are un-branded and are genericl enough that they can be used by any library or institution. The video library gives me a lot of options for my class.
Click on the "Go to Material" button to see the video. It's super fun and worth watching until the end - the purpose of the croissants will be revealed!
This resource is great because almost all students need to learn about search strategy but they tend to find the concepts BORING. This video is really engaging and fun. It pulls the viewer in from the very beginning.

We've all heard the theory that some students are visual learners, while others are auditory learners. And still other kids learn best when lessons involve movement. But should teachers target instruction based on perceptions of students' strengths? Several psychologists say education could use some "evidence-based" teaching techniques, not unlike the way doctors try to use "evidence-based medicine."

Hi Diana - LION is a bit like Merlot for librarians but more limited in scope as it's only videos. The quality is high and videos don't have any branding so that they can be utilized by any library.
Free and open online community of resources designed primarily for faculty, staff and students of higher education from around the world to share their learning materials and pedagogy. MERLOT is a leading edge, user-centered, collection of peer reviewed higher education, online learning materials, catalogued by registered members and a set of faculty development support services.
The philosopher Socrates remains, as he was in his lifetime (469-399 B.C.E.), an enigma, an inscrutable individual who, despite having written nothing, is considered one of the handful of philosophers who forever changed how philosophy itself was to be conceived.
