The international Conference on Learning Information Literacy across the Globe will be held on the 10th of May 2019 at the German Research Centre for International Educational Research (DIPF), Frankfurt Main, Germany. The Conference is a final part of the Erasmus+ Project Information Literacy Online, a European project to improve students’ competencies.
In November 2016 the EU project Information Literacy Online was started with the aim to develop, evaluate and disseminate a multilingual open access online course (MOOC) designed to improve students’ abilities to cope with the claims of present-day information society. In May 2019, the seven partner institutions will be able to present a MOOC on Information Literacy, covering six language and cultural areas. An integrated assessment component will enhance the autonomous learning progress.
The Conference will be a forum for the exchange of research and experience associated with Information Literacy (IL) Learning. Besides three keynotes and a panel, several tracks of paper sessions are planned. Submissions to the following topics of interest are invited:
- IL as a learning process, including assessment
- Digital learning resources for IL (e.g. MOOCs, Learning-scenarios, OERs)
- Comparative studies of courses and curricula with an IL lens
- Cultural diversity of IL
- IL in connection with other literacy concepts
Many disciplines can contribute: Library and Information Science, different Learning Sciences, or Research in Cultural Diversity.
The Proceedings of the conference will be published digitally by the 10th of June.
