Presented at LOEX 2017 with Trudi Jacobson Librarians and faculty members from three institutions collaborated to adapt a metaliteracy Digital Citizen badge for use with graduate literacy education students. The multi-faceted goal is not only for these students to affirm their roles as digital citizens, but also to actively teach and model such citizenship to their prospective students. This grant-funded project, which adapts content from an existing metaliteracy badging system, incorporates mechanisms to encourage a community of users, and serves as a model for collaborations with faculty across various disciplines. In this session, project collaborators will briefly introduce metaliteracy (metaliteracy.org), provide an overview of the badging system (metaliteracybadges.org), and discuss the components added for this project, and mechanisms that worked well for collaborating. We are not only concerned with collaboration within the grant team; we also built components that will encourage educators to create open access learning objects for an Educators Corner and an Educators Conference. Drawing from expertise as co-creators and researchers in initiatives such as the new ACRL Information Literacy Framework and the Connecting Credentials (connectingcredentials.org) and Global Learning Qualifications Frameworks (funded by the Lumina Foundation), we have worked together to create a robust resource that will be available to every SUNY institution, and, ultimately, to interested institutions beyond SUNY. We encourage participants to actively engage in the presentation by contributing ideas for badging opportunities based on your own professional development and curricular goals to an open forum in the Educators Corner.

- 6. Metaliteracy • A framework defined by learning learning goals and objectives • Inherently fluid • It works as an overlay for all disciplines • Invites the adoption of different or enhanced roles • It encourages risk taking for learners and teachers (Empowered Learner)
- 7. Metacognitive: what learners think about their own thinking - a reflective understanding of how and why they learn, what they do and do now know, their preconceptions, and how to continue to learn. Cognitive: what students should know upon successful completion of learning activities -- comprehension, organization, application, evaluation. Affective: changes in learners’ emotions or attitudes through engagement with learning activities. Behavioral: what students should be able to do upon successful completion of learning activities--skills, competencies. Mackey and Jacobson (2014) Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners Four Domains of Metaliteracy

- 10. WHAT IS A DIGITAL BADGE? • A record of achievement • Indication of a demonstrated skill or ability • A reward acknowledging an accomplishment • Evidence of learning • Verification of competency • Validation of non-traditional skills or experiences CC-BY Girl Guides of Canada

- 28. LEARNING PATHWAYS Image Source: Concentricsky.com https://concentricsky.com/articles/detail/open-pathways-connect-badges-to-what-you-care-about
- 29. LEARNING PATHWAYS: GOALS 1) Integrate mechanisms for customizing and remixing metaliteracy content according to disciplinary themes; 2) Extend and apply metaliteracy concepts to specific disciplines, programs and courses with customized metaliteracy “tokens;” 3) Model potential applications of the Metaliteracy Badging System that will facilitate use by all SUNY faculty members.
- 30. Pathway Builder
- 31. LEARNING PATHWAYS FOSTER COLLABORATION • Shared responsibility between librarian and disciplinary instructors • Informative vs. prescriptive -- conversation starters • Illustrates the many facets of metaliteracy • Openness to new content - seeing where collaborations lead
- 32. LESSONS LEARNED
- 33. Lessons Learned Collaborations may find you if you promote your project to diverse groups Look for points of congruence—start conversations Flexibility is the key
- 34. Lessons Learned Money helps More money helps more
- 35. Lessons Learned Allow for more time: it will take longer than expected How does that affect collaboration? Have a plan B
- 36. Lessons Learned about Collaborative Venture Course integration has to be: Well-planned Valued Integrated into an overall system of content
- 37. MOVING FORWARD
