INFORMATION literacy definition:
Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques (University of Idaho, 2011).
I have the skills to interpret and analyse information from various sources to address a discipline specific task. I have the ability to interpret which source of information addresses a university assessment task as well as the ability to source and use information to design a specific learning experience that meets the requirements of a curriculum.
The skill of being information literate has enabled me to have the abilities required to be a life long learner. To research and find knowledge in whatever discipline it is required and to use this knowledge effectively.
As commented by a university lecturer of a Learning Management course assessment I have completed and achieved well in "It is obvious you are well versed with pedagogical frameworks and theories. You have incorporated a wide range of teaching strategies and learning processes into your planning, ensuring very effective alignment with curriculum intent. well written and thorough". (Personal communication, 2010).
