overview

Remote Recitations​

This site has been optimized for online e-learning delivery of INLS 161 recitations where we will focus on learning by following steps to complete assignments. This is a "learning-by-doing" process. This does not really give you the "big picture" of the why, but focuses on the how.

Lecture Materials Site​

Big picture ideas are grasped by learning the background information and learning from information science pioneers like Grace Hopper. That is why you need to also look at the materials here: https://ils.unc.edu/~bergr/courses/2024-5_spring/inls161-001/. So, be sure to read these pages and attend lectures to deepen and round out your understanding of Information Science concepts through study and thinking. This is especially true if your goal is to be regarded as a well-versed Information Science professional.

The recitation links on the lecture site are optimized for students in the face-to-face recitations, and you are welcome to use the face-to-face material if they suit you better. Any student in INLS 161 may augment learning by use of any and all available resources.

Windows or Mac?​

For the majority of the material, the differences are very minor. Dr. Bergquist is a Windows user and I am a Mac user; therefore, the in-person recitation materials may be a bit more Windows-centric, and these e-learning recitation links may be more Mac-centric, but all content will take both operating systems into account where there might be differences. Having exposure to both operating systems is a plus as you are deepening your knowledge of information tools.

The projects and grading rubrics are the same for all in-person students and remote students in INLS 161.​

Panopto will serve all my videos​

Make sure you can access UNC Panopto Video Site. The Panopto videos will be linked from these pages in this site site and cannot be found in the Canvas Site on on the Lecture Materials site.

Flexibility and resubmits​

I am flexible, but I want you to all understand that if all of you take advantage of my flexibility, I may not have time to get your late projects graded by the Connect Carolina deadline. If you feel like things are spinning out of control, then it is best to reach out in advance.
