UTLSEC Project strands • For students: To develop a Research “Skills” module in Blackboard, covering finding, using, evaluating… information • For academic staff: To embed ‘Information for Learning’ (Information Literacy) approaches into teaching and learning practices for the BEng Marine Tech programmes at NUIS • For the university: To create a framework for Information Literacy development opportunities extendable to all four subject strands at NUIS and to future overseas partnerships
Progress so far: • Blackboard Communities: • NUIS: Research Skills for students – version for testing with current students • Newcastle University Library: Research Skills for SAgE – demo version • Issues: • Time • Skills • Technology
What's next? Panda photos c. Bent 2010 • Info for learning - working with academic staff • UNITE Workshop – useful feedback from academic staff. • Online materials • Face to face seminars • Cambridge New Curriculum for Information Literacy • Testing the Blackboard materials with staff and students
Sustainability • Framework which can be adapted • Not just for NUIS • Change in approach/ understanding of IL in the university • Materials will be deposited in JORUM
