Gabrielle Lerner, an alumna of an IPILM course, shares her reflections on metaliteracy.org, recounting her transformative learning journey.
Reflecting on her experience, she writes:
“About three years ago, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in this course, and it remains one of the most profound educational experiences of my life. The course, Intercultural Perspectives on Information Literacy and Metaliteracy (IPILM), brought together a diverse team of students from around the world, including Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Austria, Poland, India, and the United States. Our differences enriched our collaboration, weaving a vibrant tapestry of perspectives as we explored complex questions about truth, bias, and the framing of information. I am deeply grateful for this experience and for the opportunity to engage with such a talented and thoughtful group of individuals.”
Gabrielle’s reflection highlights the unique intercultural dynamics and thought-provoking challenges that make the IPILM course an exceptional learning opportunity.
