New Teaching Resource for Educators

  • 1.  New Teaching Resource for Educators

    Posted Sep 15, 2021 09:39 AM
    We would like to invite contributions to the Teaching Resources section of the Visual Literacy Today website. As an open education resource (OER), the Teaching Resources section functions as a collaborative space for librarians, academics, and teachers in all disciplines and at all levels (pre-K through college) to find lesson plans and share teaching ideas. All materials are published under a creative commons license to encourage sharing and distribution (with attribution) as widely as possible. 

    To contribute your own resources and enrich the resource, educators can upload their resources at https://visualliteracytoday.org/teaching-resources/. Materials influenced by or referencing the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education are particularly welcome. A team of international visual literacy experts from the IVLA network will review the materials once per quarter and publish them to the site.  


    This initiative launches with contributions from the Glucksman gallery in Cork, Ireland; a collaborative resource from Visual Verse and M-Leuven, Belgium; and arts-based STEM resources from Discovery Diaries and Curved House Kids in the UK.

    If you are interested in contributing, please send an email to dthompson29 [at] murraystate.edu or click the "Become a Contributor" link on the right hand side of the page. This initiative is supported by a grant from the IVLA.
