Information Competence as a Student Learning Outcome: Developing Engaged Students in Business Disciplines

 

Abstract

California State University San Marcos College of Business Administration is requesting funds to develop and implement a series of college meetings and workshops to discuss information literacy and to incorporate the Standards for Information Literacy Competency into the learning outcomes for our students. The meetings and workshops have as their primary goal to develop an understanding of information literacy and of the Standards, to plan a systematic review of the curriculum with the focus of incorporating the Standards, and to test and assess the implementation of the standards into the curriculum in an appropriate manner. As such our project will meet the following Information Competence Initiative requirements:

1. Activities will result in a statement of information competence as a required learning outcome for the degree program.

2. Activities will incorporate assessment of student information competence.

3. The Business Librarian will play an integral role in the project activities.

4. Specified learning outcomes will be consistent with the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education

5. Specified learning outcomes will be consistent with the AACSB standards for business accreditation.
