Information literacy skills are important for digital learning. There is a rich and diverse range of information available to us online in a variety of formats. As that volume of information grows, information literacy skills are key to being able to find, critically evaluate and use information effectively and ethically for a specific purpose. 

At university you will have access to a large amount of information, but a large amount of information on its own doesn't make us better informed. You will be challenged to dig deep and think critically about the information you access. You will learn to use and adapt your information literacy skills confidently and effectively in the different situations and contexts that require you to use information. These skills are increasingly valuable to you as an individual and to employers alike.  So how do you develop information literacy skills? 

A free course in Moodle.
