A New Way to Frame: Creating an Online Information Literacy Class Using Kahoot! and Padlet

Abstract

Abstract

Many librarians have been faced with the challenge of revamping traditional one-shot information literacy instruction sessions to accommodate distance learning, especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors discuss their experience with developing six asynchronous online classes modeled after the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Many articles theorize effective practices for online instruction; however, this article focuses on the implementation of two online learning platforms, Kahoot! and Padlet, to deliver engaging content for course objectives. The authors describe methods of incorporating Kahoot! and Padlet in an online learning environment and student reactions to these platforms.
