In 1995, the Information Competence Work Group was appointed to recommend basic competence levels on the use of recorded knowledge and information and processes for assessment of student competence. To accomplish this charge, the Information Competence Work Group determined that information competence would succeed as a priority for the CSU if awareness was consistently raised about the issues and importance of information competence, and if information about the successes and problems of various programs was continually shared. Over the past four years, projects on 20 campuses have been funded, a report on information competence in the CSU has been issued, two conferences held and outreach to other educational entities has occurred. Now, the Information Competence Work Group is offering an opportunity for fellowships that will advance our knowledge of information competence. Proposal Guidelines and Requirements Fellows will be selected on the strength of the proposals.
Creativity is encouraged.
Fellowship Requirements 1. Each of the seminars are 4 days in length. The seminars will be working sessions on information competence for CSU faculty. Tangible results that contribute to the advancement of information competence are expected for all Fellows. Fellows will be expected to maintain a web page for their project and the deliverables.
