Core Idea:
Information is created through varied, iterative processes. Understanding how and why information is produced helps us evaluate its usefulness and credibility.
Key Knowledge Practices
Learners should:
- Understand how different formats (e.g., blog, article, video) reflect different creation processes.
- Match information products to specific needs.
- Recognize how disciplines create and share knowledge differently.
- Evaluate both the process and the product of information.
Dispositions
Learners are encouraged to:
- Value the process behind information creation.
- Accept that new formats (like AI-generated content) may be ambiguous in value.
- Avoid judging credibility based solely on format.
- Explore diverse ways of creating and sharing information.
