New ‘world-first’ Jisc project will allow students to compare their performance against their classmates’


Every day, universities collect huge amounts of information about their students, ranging from grades and attendance, to library loans and virtual learning environment log-ins. Until now, however, most UK universities have not done much to bring those data together in a coherent way. It has been US and Australian institutions that have led the development of learning analytics: the use of such information to identify individuals who may be struggling and understand which teaching methods work best.

Are Freshman Ready for College Research?

Are Freshman Ready for College Research? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blogs.edweek.org - January 29, 2014 11:21 AM
A recent report from Project Information Literacy identifies the challenges that college freshmen face as they tackle their first major research projects.

 

We identified a disparity between the Google-centric search skills that many first-term freshmen brought with them from high school and the competencies they needed to meet the far higher research expectations in college. Moreover, we found freshmen we studied had gaping holes in their understanding of how libraries--and the vast array of digital resources academic libraries provided--could best meet their needs, especially when it came to sifting out the trusted information they wanted."

That's the conclusion from the most recent report from Project Information Literacy, [ http://projectinfolit.org/pdfs/PIL_2013_FreshmenStudy_FullReport.pdf ] headed by Alison Head of the Berkman Center and the University of Washington.

Libraries: championing digital information on campus

Libraries: championing digital information on campus | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.theguardian.com - November 22, 2013 12:24 PM

Alison Mackenzie explains how a new project is looking at the role university libraries play in developing digital literacy

 

 

The Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) is working on a project to review the roles academic libraries are playing in developing the digital literacies within their own institutions, and across the information profession. Academic librarians have a long tradition of championing the effective use of information. The SCONUL project is designed to reveal how libraries and librarians are shaping their services to maximise the opportunities and benefits of working in a digital environment.

Integrating library literacy through distance learning module design

From cdelondon.wordpress.com - May 27, 2013 1:58 PM
Dr Clare Brooks (Dept of Curriculum Pedagogy and Assessment, Institute of Education).  Research team: Antony Daws and Barbara Sakarya Project goals: The IOE library team and MA in Education program...

 

The aim of this extended project is to develop effective strategies to embed library literacy into the module to encourage international students on a distance learning programme to develop effective library usage.  The embedding of library literacy into the module design is a potential solution to the problem of inadequate library literacy in distance learning students. The research seeks to fully evaluate the impact of this integration on both the students’ learning, and their successful completion of the module. The project is intended to improve student access, experience and achievement through their use of elearning technology. The results of this evaluation will be widely disseminated through University of London International Programmes, the CDE network and to colleagues at the Institute of Education.

Elizabeth E Charles's insight:

Project in 2013 will embed information literacy into MA degree for international students on distance learning programme

From www.cultofpedagogy.com - August 21, 2016 10:29 AM
As you probably know, Google Drive is far more than a place to store files online. It also includes a suite of versatile creation tools, many of which perform the same functions as the ones we use in other spaces. These include Google Docs, a word processing program that behaves similarly to Microsoft Word, Google Slides, a presentation program similar to PowerPoint, and Google Forms, a survey-creation tool similar to Survey Monkey.

Project Information Literacy: Graduates' information behaviour | Information Literacy Weblog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From information-literacy.blogspot.co.uk - July 31, 2014 12:18 PM

Project Information Literacy  [http://projectinfolit.org/ ] just published a summary of its research into US graduates' information behaviour. 63 graduates from 10 US universities were interviewed about what kinds of information need they had now they had left university and how they met their needs. This is "Phase One of a two-year, large-scale study of college graduates and lifelong learning": the second phase will consist of a questionnaire sent to 75,000 recent graduates.
The results identify the graduates as using a wide variety of sources and strategies, particularly using people sources (including using networks that they can tap into) and various online sources such as blogs.
The report is at http://projectinfolit.org/images/pdfs/pil_lll_phase1.pdf

Linked Data has established itself as the de facto means for the publication of structured data over the Web, enjoying amazing growth in terms of the number of organizations committing to use its core principles for exposing and interlinking Big Data for seamless exchange, integration, and reuse. The European project EUCLID is developing a comprehensive educational curriculum, supported by multimodal learning materials and highly visible eLearning distribution channels, tailored to the real needs of data practitioners. The EUCLID curriculum focuses on techniques and software to integrate, query, and visualize Linked Data, as core areas in which practitioners state to require most assistance.

In December 2013 The US Project Information Literacy published a research report about first-year university students and information literacy. It is based on interviews with 35  first year students (from 6 institutions), a survey of school and university students (all in the USA) and analysis of library resources."In this study, we investigate the challenges today's freshmen face, and the information-seeking strategies they develop, use, and adapt as they make the transition from high school to college and begin to complete college research assignments."

Welcome to the DigiLit Leicester Framework project!

What is DigiLit Leicester?

Leicester City Council’s Building Schools for the Future Programme is working in Partnership with De Montfort University on the DigiLit Leicester Project – the development of a Digital Literacy Framework for secondary level school staff.

The Digilit Leicester project is designed to ensure school staff and learners are getting the most from the significant investment in technology being made across the city, and that schools are able to make best use of technology to meet their aspirations for transforming educational provision. It will help schools make sure every learner attending a BSF Programme school benefits not only from a school with world-class technology provision, but from an education that is supported and enhanced by the use of technology to raise achievement and aspiration, connect communities and open opportunities.
