The information Literacy Framework articulates learning outcomes from an elementary an advanced level. At an elementary level students investigate a set topic and find and use information in a guided way. At an advanced skill level, students engage in an open inquiry with self-determined guidelines. The Framework: Framework_LOs.htm is drawn from the work of O’Regan and Willson
The Framework aims to assist the collaboration between academics and librarians to embed information literacy into the context of the discipline and other generic skills. Learning outcomes provide an idea of what is actually involved in developing students’ information literacy and can be used as a basis for mapping and auditing information literacy skills through a course and students’ ePortfolios.
The Library has an online resource that addresses the elementary learning outcomes of the Framework and enables librarians to contextualise online learning modules for a course or unit.
With further development The Framework will link to teaching and assessment case studies from across all faculties. See a PowerPoint introduction to the Framework: ILFramework.ppt
