The Craft of Common Craft

 Common Craft web site

Join us on Monday December 15, 10:30am-11:45am (check local time) for an open online discussion with Lee LeFever one half of the creative duo at Common Craft (http://www.commoncraft.com/) that produce the popular ___________ in Plain English videos that many educators use to help explain technical or complex topics. As their site explains, their goal is to make "videos that are short, simple and focused on making complex ideas easy to understand." 

New InfoLit YouTube Video

The Teaching Learning Center at Otis College of Art and Design is experimenting with creating YouTube and iTunesU videos to help teach skills for our freshmen in particular.

Our most recent one features an art history professor discussing some of the criteria useful in determining whether the information found in periodicals is scholarly, popular, or professional. Although not really scripted, she has worked closely with me for years on teaching info lit skills to students in the first year required art history course. She spoke extemporaneously for 55 minutes and we edited it down to 10.

The Teaching Learning Center has also assisted some of the Foundation Department faculty in creating learning objects.
