Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning
In the 21st century, it is important to be able to research and make wise decisions based on reliable information. In fact, employers have high expectations regarding their employees’ abilities to research. As discussed in the Post Your Introduction forum, due to the overwhelming amount of information available, researching and locating reliable sources to guide decision-making can be very challenging. Let’s examine in this discussion the challenges of research and how developing information literacy skills can help.
Prepare: Read Module 1 of your textbook to learn more about information literacy. Next, read the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article from theChronicle of Higher Education. This article details the research expectations employers have of new employees hired in the digital age.
Reflect: Consider your reaction to the information in the article, At Sea in a Deluge of Data, and Module 1 and identify areas that you connected with the most. Based on the article and Module 1 of your text, consider how information literacy skills can impact being a critical consumer of information.
Write: With Module 1 of the textbook and the article, you explored in mind, answer the following questions in your discussion post:
· Based on the information you read in Chapter 1 of your textbook and the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article, how would you define information literacy?
· How can improving your information literacy skills help you in being a critical consumer of information, in the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, and in your professional career ambitions?
Your initial post should contain a minimum of 350 words written in complete sentences. It must answer all aspects of the prompt (refer to “Think about it this way” below). It must be posted by 11:59 p.m. Thursday evening. Correctly cite the source of any information that you use in your post.
Think about it this way...This discussion is asking you to do six things.
· Read Module 1 in your textbook and the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article.
· Based on your textbook and the article, write a paragraph explaining how you would define information literacy.
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in being a critical consumer of information?”
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in the ongoing pursuit of knowledge?”
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in your career ambitions?
What Is Information Literacy?
Information literacy is the ability to identify a need for information and successfully locate, evaluate, and use that information ethically and legally for a determined purpose. For this course we’ll focus on information literacy regarding your research papers for school. But information literacy is important in all aspects of life. Being information literate can help you research schools to find the one that’s best for your child,.
Research Frameworks for Multiple Ways of Knowing: Social Justice, Methodology...Andiswa Mfengu
Presentation presented in the ALISE 2023 conference in October 2023 in Pittsburgh - Juried Panel presentation. The presentation discusses socially just research impact assessment support from the LIS discipline. Research and research impact assessment have been greatly transformed over the years and thus providing an opportunity for the LIS discipline to explore equitable and context-sensitive approaches that cater for marginalized groups; and how these approaches can be embedded in LIS scholarship and education. Andiswa discuss challenges and propose solutions on how research impact assessment support from the LIS discipline can be more inclusive, flexible, and equitable in practice and in curricula.
WEBINAR: Joining the "buzz": the role of social media in raising research vi...HELIGLIASA
Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility: Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics/article level metrics). Altmetrics measures aspects of the impact of a work, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media.
This webinar (based on a presentation of the same name at the LIASA conference on 24th September 2014) gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University, Grahamstown, librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. …IL as Socio-material
As textual practices are transformed by emerging
technologies and the Web 2.0 ecology, these
practices are reinterpreted by new understandings
of literacy.

16. 2. Research as Inquiry
Open-ended exploration and engagement with
information
Iterative process – student has to rethink, rework,
explore, test concepts of their discipline
Students need to be taught how to identify
unresolved issues and frame questions
Students will uncover more complex questions as
they deepen their knowledge within a field
Process includes various research methodologies
and different lines of inquiry
Data collection and management requires students
to communicate with role players and practitioners in
the community, where they will learn how issues
affect these individuals.
17. Example of an assignment
Is the “passion” gap (removal of the top
four incisor teeth) that is so prevalent on
the Cape Flats, a cultural phenomenon,
fashion statement or a result of poor
dental hygiene? Discuss your position
and give possible strategies to combat it.
It involves doing interviews, with open –
ended questions, surveys and
observations.
(They will get a better picture of cultural
beliefs, personal perspectives and can
follow up on questions and have
18. Example of an assignment
Ask students to conduct original research based on
qualitative interviews, a form of research where
people are permitted to answer questions for
themselves and in their own terms.
The interview-based assessment that is set
requires students to interview someone who was or
who had been involved in crime or the criminal
justice system.
Students will be taught to learn new ways of
investigating an issue
They will value the possibility of discovering social
worlds about which they knew little
May also use the opportunity to explore their own
social milieu.
19. 3. Authority of texts is
Contextual and Constructed
Authority may be seen as the degree
of trust that is assigned to the source
of information
Depends on the origin, information
need and context within which
information will be used
20. Markers of Authority ….
external indicators such as peer
reviewed articles and credentials of
the author
origin, context and suitability for the
information need of the moment
Authority is contextual in that the
information need may help determine
the level of authority required.
21. Authority as Contextual
Check currency rate of eg. UK and RSA
Quick currency convertor check – no need
to test the authority of the source
But a dissertation on the Economics of
Inflation – study of currency – investigate
the credibility of the source
23. Authority is Constructed…
The “authority” of different information
sources tends to be determined by
disciplinary communities
Acknowledges that certain voices are
elevated through established rules and
systems – social construction of
knowledge
All sources are not created equal,
authoritative voices exist in specific
categories of knowledge and
Whereas the novice learner may rely on
superficial indicators of authority, the
expert recognises schools of thought or
paradigms within the discipline
26. Scholarly communication is evolving and
knowledge is shared in different ways
Each source of information has constraints
and capabilities. These characteristics as
well as the particular information need will
determine how the product is used
The novice learner should understand the
importance of the creation process of each
information source. This will enable them to
make informed choices when matching the
source with the information need
The expert researcher is able to recognise
that information sources are valued
differently in different contexts – academia
or workplace
27. Format of Information How is it Created? How can I locate
information in this
format?
Newspapers
(online + print)
Interviews, reports,
investigations, research
Online via newspaper
websites.
Reading newspapers
Books Research, interviews Print copies( libraries,
bookshops)
Podcasts Audio recording Podcasting sites online
Journal Article Reading , research,
thought, debate, drafts,
formal peer review. May
have been shaped form a
conference presentation
Online or in print
Blog Online Blog websites
28. 5. Searching as Exploration
Search strategy is not straight-forward
and sequential
Involves inquiry, discovery and
serendipity
Discovery of one source can lead to
other sources or avenues of inquiry
Basic and advanced search strategies,
interview techniques
Should be able to match information
need and search strategy with
appropriate search tool
29. DATE RESEARCH
RESULTS AND
FINDINGS
THOUGHTS ON MY
PROGRESS
08/18 I found a Web site about
asthma and downloaded
information about the
causes of the illness. I
also visited in a chat
room with another teen
who has asthma.
So far, so good.
Getting information
has
been easy. I’m finding
out a lot.
08/23 I wanted to interview Dr.
Anders, my asthma
specialist, but she is
going to be out of town
for a few days.
I think I waited too long to
call Dr. Anders. Now I’m
not sure if I will have
time to interview her and
still get the paper done.
Next time, I’ll start the
interviews early!
08/24 A packet of information
that I requested from one
of the online groups
came in today’s mail. It
has a lot of information
about athletes who have
asthma and still play
sports.
This is great information!
It answers some of my
research questions. Best
of all, I got some tips on
how to play sports and
not get too short of
breath.
30. 6. Information has Value
“Information possesses several dimensions
of value – as a commodity, as a means of
education, as a means of influence, and as a
means of negotiating and understanding the
world” (ACRL,2014)
Students should understand their obligation
to cite and acknowledge the ideas of others
Understand the differences between
copyright, open access and public domain
Commerce acts as a barrier – students
should understand how their research
strategy may be affected by toll access.
32. Roles
Library to work closely with relevant role-
players
Teaching staff: application of 6 frames
in their coursework
Framework offers a problem-based
learning pedagogy with several sample
assignments
Library to support lecturers by working
with Teaching and Learning Specialists -
designing learning outcomes and
learning activities and assessments
33. Our story so far…
Faculty Librarians have been trained to understand
and apply the new IL Frames
Library drafted Guidelines for the Embedding of IL
in Teaching and Learning at UWC
Shared Guidelines and held presentations on the 6
IL Frames with all Faculties at Teaching and
Learning Committee meetings, Board meetings
and seminars
Positive feedback from Faculties - Invited to offer
workshops/consultations at departmental level to
discuss and design how IL may be embedded via
learning activities and assessments
