Information literacy and informed learning:

Abstract

Article Bruce et al. 2017. Information literacy and informed learning: conceptual innovations for IL research and practice futures. Journal of Information Literacy, 11(1), pp.4-22. http://dx. AbstractOur paper draws together conceptual innovations emerging from the work of a group of researchers focussed on the relational approach to information literacy (IL), more recently labelled 'informed learning'. Team members have been working together in various configurations for periods ranging from seven to seventeen years. Our collaborative approach continues to yield new concepts and constructs which we believe to be of value to ongoing research and practice. Some of the ideas discussed have been previously published, while others are being put forward for the first time. All are significant in that they together form new constructs that have emerged from a focus on the relational approach to IL. In this paper, Christine Bruce introduces the background to this work and the contributing researchers, as well as providing concluding comments. Then the individual authors present the key directions which they have developed and are leading, typically working with one or more of the wider network.The key ideas presented are: The Expressive window for IL (Mandy Lupton); information experience design (Elham Sayyad Abdi); cross-contextuality and experienced identity (Andrew Demasson); informed learning design (Clarence Maybee); spaces for inclusive informed learning (Hilary Hughes); and Informed Systems (Mary Somerville and Anita Mirijamdotter). In each section, the respective authors reflect on what the idea is about, where it came from and what it might mean for research and practice. http://dx.

There is a method to it: Making meaning in information research through a mix of paradigms and methods

“…Elham will discuss the two‐phase qualitative and participatory “information experience design” research approach which bridges theory to practice in the information use domain (Bruce et al , Sayyad Abdi, , Sayyad Abdi et al, ). Elham will describe a qualitative investigation into immigrants' experience of “information use to learn” and how the analysis was used to inform the design of enabling interventions (e.g.…”

Making Local Knowledge Visible: The Case of the University for Business and Technology in Kosovo

“…Although building upon longitudinal North American studies that demonstrated the efficacy of information-centred (Bruce et al, 2017) and systems-focused (Checkland, 2011) design activities in the workplace (e.g. Mirijamdotter and Somerville, 2009;Somerville, 2009Somerville, , 2015cSomerville and Mirijamdotter, 2014), this UBT initiative commenced at a graduate level systems analysis, design and modelling course 2 that aimed to ultimately redesign university educational experience.…”

Egy „örökzöld téma”: az információs túlterhelés

“…Az információs túlterhelés szempontjából nem lényegtelen, hogy ebben a keretben információ alatt bármilyen, egy adott kontextusban informáló élményt érthetünk, tehát lehet tény, elmélet, modell, hang, testbeszéd vagy éppen tudományos eredmény, amely keletkezhet a természetben vagy a virtuális világban (Bruce et al 2017).…”
