Session 4A: Empowering students in an information age
- Geoff Hoy
Description
Information literacy has always been an essential skill for all students, and in an era of #fakenews and ChatGPT its even more critical. However, on entering, university students have varying exposure to computers and the Internet. How do we help someone critically evaluate sources when they’re still learning to find information?
What are the current challenges universities face with information literacy? This is a problem that inevitably touches on the realms of both the IT help desk and the library. How can they work together to give students the best possible chance of succeeding?
