Developing information researching literacies in students: UCD Library's Teaching & Learning support model

Hickey, Peter (2014) Developing information researching literacies in students: UCD Library's Teaching & Learning support model. In: The 15th Educational Technology Conference of the Irish Learning Technology Association (ILTA). May 29th and 30th, UCD, Dublin, Ireland.

Abstract

In this practice exchange I outline how UCD Library is using technology to support teaching and learning at programme level in UCD. I will share some of the benefits and challenges encountered in creating reusable learning objects, resource selection tools and measures to capture interventions. In 2013 UCD Library introduced a new model to better support the development of information researching literacies across the academic curriculum. International experience and best practice indicates that Students who understand how to find, critically evaluate and ethically use academic quality information have increased confidence and are better positioned to achieve in their studies.
