American Pragmatism - Chuck Curran, et al
Need better theory and practice integration. More integration would allow for the development of new theories. While American Pragmatism is not new, it could be a new way of thinking into our courses.
Case based learning as a way of teaching information ethics - Mirah Dow, et al
Using Dervin & Clark (2003) to help with case based learning and sense-making
What are authentic cases?
- Storytelling quality
- Interesting characters
- Controversial topics
- Dilemmas to engage the students
Conclusions:
- Case-based instruction provides the authenticity necessary for students to frame social issues as information problems.
- Case-based instruction provides the basis for learning basic principles of information ethics including information freedom, intellectual property, privacy, professional ethics, and intercultural ethics.
- CAS-based instruction enables students to express substantive perceptions of being critical.
- Case-based insurrection enables students....(I think the rest of it was about leadership).
This group's research is being published in the ALISE journal (JELIS).
