    Curriculum mapping: Creating options for integrating DIL into a degree program
    (2017-04-19) Macy, Katharine V.; Coates, Heather L.
    Students in undergraduate and graduate programs need to develop data information literacy (DIL) in order to be successful in their personal and professional lives. However, finding space for new content in curricula that are already full presents a challenge. Curriculum mapping can reveal where DIL naturally complements existing learning objectives and assist in identifying potential gaps. The process of mapping DIL competencies to a curriculum provides librarians with a deeper understanding of a discipline through detailed analysis of how existing course assignments may be adapted to incorporate elements of DIL. A curriculum map can also facilitate better communication between librarians and faculty as they determine the best strategy for integrating instruction. The panelists will discuss how they have used curriculum mapping within an undergraduate business program and a master of public health program to develop integration strategies, foster communication with faculty, and devise relevant disciplinary examples that resonate with students’ personal and professional lives. Presentation presented as part of the Curricular Challenges and Data Information Literacy panel at RDAP17.

    Data information literacy instruction in Business and Public Health: Comparative case studies
    (Sage Journals, 2016-10-27) Macy, Katharine V.; Coates, Heather L.
    Employers need a workforce capable of using data to create actionable information. This requires students to develop data information literacy competencies that enable them to navigate and create meaning in an increasingly complex information world. This article examines why data information literacy should be integrated into program curricula, specifically in the instances of business and public health, and offers strategies for how it can be accomplished. We approach this as a comparative case study within undergraduate business and master of public health programs at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. These case studies reveal several implications for practice that apply across social and health sciences programs.

    Is China Reshaping the African Landscape?
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2014-04-11) Rayner, Gabrielle; Brown, Darrell E
    The purpose of this research is to identify the ways in which China is reshaping the African landscape. The goal is to show how China has developed a strategy, to build close ties with countries in Africa to market their products. The focus of the research is to show how China has made a huge impact in Africa the past twenty years. Twenty years ago, China’s influence in Africa was scarce. Today, China’s strategy includes Africa and its vast resources. China’s growing industrial businesses in energy, petroleum, mineral deposits, and raw materials have them looking outside their country to fulfill their needs. Africa with its large quantity of natural resources has caught the attention of the Chinese government. The Chinese seek additional connections with the countries of Africa. China’s arrival as a global power, is seeking to transform the African continent. Several African countries have embraced the Chinese as a partner, which can help them with their infrastructure, economies, military, and foreign direct investments. African leaders have embraced China as a superpower on the continent. China is putting into place programs that will address these issues. China’s ideas are to introduce and reinforce its growing economic and political influence in Africa. Various authors on this subject have referred to China as the “Crouching tiger” and Africa as the “Hidden dragon.” Eventually, Africa will be a strong test to China and its influence abroad. The United States has mostly ignored the African continent. Would an established Chinese presence come back to haunt the United States in the future or is this also a wakeup call for the United States, to become more involved with the nations of Africa; or does China already have too much of a first-mover advantage?
