Written by Got it—here’s a revision that leans more into a warm, conversational, instructor voice (less formal, more “you,” and a bit more reflective/encouraging while still grounded in course ideas):
As we head into the final stretch of INFO 200, this module is a chance to do something a little different—follow your curiosity.
Over the semester, we’ve spent time exploring information communities, how people seek and use information, and how libraries and information professionals respond to those needs. With this module, you get to take those ideas and see how they show up in areas that genuinely interest you.
Information communities are flexible and constantly evolving—shaped by shared interests, technologies, and the ways people connect with information . This module is designed with that same spirit in mind. Each “adventure” highlights a different context, whether that’s archives, storytelling, misinformation, global library work, or emerging technologies.
There’s no assignment tied to this module, and that’s intentional. Not all engagement with information needs to be structured or task-driven. Sometimes the most meaningful learning happens when you have the space to explore, make connections, and follow what catches your attention.
As you work through your chosen adventure, I encourage you to think about how it connects back to the course. Where do you see information needs, access, equity, or community engagement at play? How are people creating, sharing, or interacting with information in these spaces?
Use this week as a way to expand your perspective a bit—and hopefully find something that sticks with you beyond the course.
One quick logistical note for this week: this is the only module in the semester that we’ll be working entirely within Canvas. All of the adventures were created directly in Canvas by different INFO 200 instructors, and they’re designed to be experienced there—so rather than moving things into our usual course space, I kept everything in its original format. It makes for a smoother experience and lets you engage with each adventure as it was intended.
