Description. Each student will develop a digital leadership resource guide for their
current and/or future practice related to the leadership content learned throughout the
semester. Over the course of the semester, we will be exploring a variety of resources
related to leadership theory and practice. In addition to these resources, students
should explore what additional campus, community, digital, or other information exists to
help them in their leadership development. This assignment is intended to help students
synthesize their developing leadership competencies and to create a digital resource
guide that adds several additional resources beyond those examined in the class
(minimum of 10 additional sources). The digital leadership resource guide should be in an ELECTRONIC format and may take the form of a web page, a hyperlinked
document, an interactive infographic, a PDF, or part of the student’s academic portfolio
as part of their degree program.
In your digital leadership resource guide, please
incorporate the following elements:
• A recorded, oral summary of your personal philosophy of leadership and what
competencies/topics we have explored in class that most resonate with you (5
minutes maximum);
• Reflection on your Clifton Strengths Inventory results (Top 5) and their
connection to your personal philosophy of leadership;
• Your five favorite readings about leadership; these can be both academic and
non-academic (web, magazine, news sources, etc.) but at least two must be
academic and peer reviewed. Provide a paragraph summary of these readings,
highlight aspects from them that are important to your personal philosophy of
leadership, and discuss how you decided that these were reliable sources using
information from Unit 2 on information literacy;
• A minimum of two readings related to leadership in your intended major or career
field of interest. Provide a paragraph summary of these articles, highlight aspects
from them that are important to your personal philosophy of leadership, and
discuss how you decided that these were reliable sources using information from
Unit 2 on information literacy;
• At least five campus and/or professional resources that relate to the development
of leadership practice in your major and/or intended career. These can be
activities/events/workshops on the WMU campus; activities in the community;
and/or professional associations and professional development activities. Please
provide details on where information on these activities is listed and how
individuals can take advantage of the activities (timelines, processes, websites,
etc.).
This assignment is graded on the following criteria (see the Demonstrate and Apply
Information Literacy Rubric in E-learning for additional information):
• Location & Inclusion of required elements (summary, Strengths, five favorite
readings with summary, two major related resources with summary, five
professional development resources)
• Evaluation of information, selecting the most appropriate resources (resources
are appropriate to the topic, the types and numbers, relevant to leadership,
connection to major as required)
• Synthesis of resources – summaries connect sources of information
• Creation of resources guide from a variety of sources (readings, digital,
websites)
