Our instructional approach focuses on the competencies required to succeed in an academic research environment and the broader complex information ecosystem. Our goal is to integrate information and other literacies (primary source, digital, data, and AI) into the UGA curriculum in a sustainable and scalable manner. We are excited to partner with course instructors, and we offer a variety of instructional resources and approaches that can help learners achieve their research goals and help instructors meet their learning objectives.
