Metaliteracy in a Connected World - Developing Learners as Producers (Paperback)

In this newest book in their series, the authors carefully examine the central role of learners as producers of information, a foundational idea for the metaliteracy framework and one that's more important than ever in our current media and information environment. They emphasize the active role today's learners play as individual and collaborative metaliterate producers of information in various forms, including writing, digital stories, digital artifacts, and multimedia productions. The authors explore a range of connected social settings from online courses to social media to open learning environments. Featuring a new metaliteracy diagram that defines the core components of metaliteracy as well as several illustrative case studies, this book offers an overview of the development of the metaliterate producer through metaliteracy's goals, learning objectives, learning domains, active learner roles, and associated characteristics; examines the ethical responsibilities of creating information and building connected communities of trust; explores the ways in which metaliteracy provides scaffolding for open pedagogical settings, encouraging students to understand and embrace their active roles; analyzes the conjunctions of metaliteracy and open pedagogy in courses with disparate permutations pertinent to the courses' learning objectives; shows how to embed metaliteracy learning activities in blended and online learning environments, illustrated through descriptive examples from several courses; and provides customizable learning activities designed to advance dispositions important to metaliterate producers, such as an open mindset, critical thinking, and embracing digital citizenship.
