Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
Tennessee State University was grant-funded to develop this playbook, which frameworks and examples are targeted historically Black colleges and universities, but its content is authoritative, current and relevant to all post-secondary instiituitons. There is sufficient information to understand and apply concepts, and reflection questions help to summarize and integrate concepts. As such, this playbook can be used in several situations. End references are appropriately attributed, and URLs are accurate but not "live."
Concerns:
The accuracy of information, as the resource grows, is a concern as the information is contributed by readers for review.
URLS are not linked.
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
The playbook's concepts reflect ICT literacy standards. The first chapter defines digital literacies, and following chapters build on their prior ones, demonstrating relationships between concepts, which leads to efficient learning. Each chapter introduces a major concept, then provides a three-stage approach: design, enhance, and optimize to help learners apply principles for sustained impact. The structure also includes reflection questions and action roadmap, which facilitates assignment creation. Material is applicable to ICT literacy, academics and daily life.
Concerns:
There is a lack of learning objectives or identification of prior knowledge.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
Information is clearly written, with useful examples. The layout is clean and professional looking. The playbook requires little technology, and is easily used without guidance. The authors encourage readers to contribute to this "living" playbook. The file is ADA-compliant.
Concerns:
Instructions for use are not included, and the text can be dry with minimal visually appealing parts. There is no interactivity nor help feature.
