“Have I learnt it?” Evaluating skills for resource‐based study using electronic resources

Abstract: Electronic information resources are increasingly in use for courses at all levels of Higher Education. They may be employed as reference material when researching particular topics for assignments, as part of a conventionally structured course, or alternatively their use may be a central part of resource based course philosophy. Whilst the use of these resources may offer many advantages in terms of developing more independent learners, there are also information handling skills which students must acquire. T… Show more

“…Examples are environments for resource-based learning (Hill & Hannafin, 2001;Macdonald, Heap, & Mason, 2001), problem-based learning (Savery & Duffy, 1995), project-based learning (Land & Greene, 2000), and competence-based learning (Kirschner, Valcke, & Van Vilsteren, 1997). The transmission of knowledge is no longer the primary educational aim.…”

“…Developing and refining information literacy skills should be an important element of courses making much use of ICT, because few undergraduate students are well prepared for such activities (Macdonald et al, 2001;McDowell, 2002). However, information literacy skills are not totally generic: they must be developed in the context of a specific subject or discipline because a basic understanding of any discipline is necessary to enable learners to frame pertinent questions with which to evaluate and select appropriate sources.…”
