In order to connect visual literacy instruction to the digital space it now occupies, this book also features several workshops and instruction sessions that use digital humanities tools. Each chapter discusses a different facet of visual literacy through a digital lens"-- "Millions of images are uploaded to social media every day, and students are increasingly being asked to participate in such image-rich research projects as websites and blogs. Image manipulation and photo editing are commonplace, but the visual literacy skills needed to detect that kind of misinformation aren't. Students need help learning how to find, evaluate, and use images in an ethical and effective manner. Digital Visual Literacy is designed to introduce visual literacy to instructional librarians. This concise introduction teaches visual literacy as a digital skill, complete with digital humanities-based workshops and assignments to make instruction informative and engaging. It covers all aspects of visual literacy, from copyright to image evaluation. Each chapter clearly explains visual literacy standards and proficiencies and offers practical instructional assignments, in-class demonstrations, and more through the use of digital humanities tools"-- What is visual literacy -- Identifying and finding images -- Evaluating and interpreting images -- Designing and communicating with images -- Citation and ethics for images -- Activities and assignments -- Conclusion.
