Information Literacy Modules a Success!

During the first semester of release (Summer B, 2008), UCF’s information literacy modules successfully supported student learning. Sixty-nine faculty explored the information literacy modules, with 19 courses/special programs assigning one or more of the modules to their students, and four hundred sixty students accessed the modules. Reports from participating faculty and students indicate that the modules were relatively easy to set-up and use with very few identifying any technical problems. In fact, technical support logs indicate that only six students and only one faculty member contacted Ask A Librarian to report a problem. Faculty and students also report that the modules positively impacted student information literacy knowledge and skills.
