In episode 12 of the Pedagogy Primer Podcast, Matthew Kochan, public service supervisor for the Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library, joins us to take about information literacy, how it applies to student work, and how to do it effectively. He also discusses open education resources, also known as OER’s, how they can be used in the classroom, and the advantages and disadvantages of OER’s over traditional text. We close this episode with a brief discussion on how the Library has helped students overcome some of the struggles that they may encounter while going to college.
