TRANSLITERACY
“It is not about learning text literacy and visual literacy and digital literacy in isolation from one another but about the interaction among all these literacies.”

“Information literacy is central to this redefinition because information takes many forms online and is produced and communicated through multiple modalities. ”

“The ability to critically self-assess one’s own competencies and to recognize the need for integrated or expanded literacies in today’s information environment is a metaliteracy.”

Metaliteracy is Metacognitive
“This metacognitive approach challenges a reliance on skills-based information literacy instruction only and shifts the focus to knowledge acquisition in collaboration with others.”

“Both metaliteracy and transliteracy challenge traditional skills-based concepts of information literacy by recognizing the role of emerging technologies, suggesting that information technology is a central component of students’ learning.”

Metaliteracy Learning Objectives
Four main categories:1. Behavioral2. Cognitive3. Affective4. Metacognitive
Please refer to Learning Objectives document

Developed as part of a SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant (IITG) and based on Mackey/Jacobson “Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy” College & Research Libraries. January 2011 72:62-78 http://crl.acrl.org/content/72/1/62.full.pdf
Active Metaliterate Engagement
Basic IL Course:
• Actual creation of information• Presentation of that information using a web-based
application• Migration of individual paper-based research guide to
team-based guide using wiki or website• Addition of data visualization/visual literacy component
Team Project from Fall 2012
Next MOOC for fall 2013:
#L4LLL Literacies for Lifelong Learning
(a Metaliteracy MOOC)
