Some course instructors will also share visuals (such as videos or charts) and ask students to analyze or have a conversation on what they see.

INFORMATION CREATION AS A PROCESS
Information in any format is produced to convey a message and is shared via a selected delivery method. The iterative processes of researching, creating, revising, and disseminating information vary, and the resulting product reflects these differences.
KNOWLEDGE PRACTICES

KNOWLEDGE PRACTICES
• contribute to scholarly conversation at an appropriate level, such as local online community, guided discussion, undergraduate research journal, conference presentation/poster session;
