Pirate Information Literacy Game
Breanne Kirsch, University of South Carolina Upstate
USC Upstate• 5,500 students, 820 transfer students each year.• Transfer students miss the library instruction sessions in the first year
program.• Created a BlackBoard “inventory of information literacy skills.”• Suggestion of using a game, inspired by Mary Broussard’s Goblin
Threat Plagiarism Game.• Collaboration with Sebastian Vandelden, Computer Science
Professor.– One of his students, Cory Bohon worked on creating the game as a project
for class.– A group of librarians created a story board. – Cory used Hype on his Mac to create the pirate game this past semester. It
is now complete and in the testing phase.
The Game
• Better than the BlackBoard Quiz.– Hopefully the game format will motivate more
students to play the game.• Follow Up
