Information
literacy: e-learning modules
Level:
basic and advanced
Target group:
university students
In addition to classroom lessons,
e-learning modules are being developed, which offer the possibility of
self-study in the sub-areas of information literacy.
In order to cover as wide a spectrum of subject matter as possible,
e-learning modules are being developed parallel to the course modules. This
offers students the possibility to freely access the course materials for
preparation and review.
Exercises and tests
will also be available online and give students immediate feedback as to their
own progress.
Lessons independent from the courses themselves will also offer interested
persons the possibility to explore the topic of information literacy and acquire
information and facts in this area.
The practical implementation of the e-learning modules is supported by ILIAS, an
open-source e-learning platform operated by the University of Cologne.
