Visual Literacy Synthesized: A Content Analysis of Syllabi to Build a Better Visual Literacy Course by Jason Mickel and Elizabeth Ann Teaff

This paper implements a content analysis approach to examine syllabi of existing visual literacy and media literacy courses for themes that meet best practices as established by the ACRL standards. These themes have then been combined into a syllabus template representative of a course that will meet the commonly accepted needs of contemporary students in higher education. The template includes recommended readings and assignments.
