Reenvisioning information literacy for the 21st century: A new hybrid course model at AUC

The Libraries and Learning Technologies course (LALT 1020) is a core curriculum requirement for all students to take at The American University in Cairo before they graduate. This session will briefly discuss the evolution of the LALT course from its infant roots as a non-credit information literacy 101 class to a more robust hybrid 10-week course that includes a practicum component for students in the final weeks of the semester. This new model, debuting in Fall 2021, will incorporate more content that focuses on the liberal arts, 21st century competencies (including digital literacies), and the AUC strategic plan.
