Inhaltsangabe

In the global context of escalating information-richness, the preparation of individuals to be effective information users - as learners, as employees and as citizens - is becoming an imperative. For a long time it had been common to view IT literacy and information skills literacy from two different perspectives, but these are now converging in educational contexts as integrated IT-support and managed learning environments become the norm. This collection of selected and invited papers from practitioners in the field surveys and analyzes current practice, emerging directions and ongoing issues relating to information and IT literacy, focusing on all aspects of learning enablement, including education and training at all levels, lifelong learning and e-learning. The book is divided into four main sections: contexts, strategies, visions - the learning environment and the role of IT/information literacy in enabling it; curriculum and pedagogy - core/key skills, learning goals and curricular integration of IT/information literacy; implementation issues - delivery methods, assessment, accreditation, special needs, funding and research; facilitation and research - further development through research and collaboration initiatives.
