Check here for the more details!
I'll get to this asap. :)

This site was originally developed for those who would be teaching the EDUC 1300 class online. However, as we got into the project, we realized it might well be a resource that face to face instructors could benefit from also. There may be small bias in favor of articulating the activites in a way that would be manageable in an online environment. But we hope that can be adjusted to work for anyone. Let us know what you think!
In creating the information literacy module of the Learning Frameworks course we have been particularly informed by three Web sites, which we highly recommend and which are used as a basis for activities.
In each case the Web sites come from institutions of considerable reputation, a fact which is not unimportant for a module which itself is about careful selection of sources.
While time and space allow us only to access a portion of the superb material at each one, our hope is that EDUC 1300 instructors will find many ways to go beyond these activities. The Web is a huge part of how people update their knowledge. We all might as well get good at it.
Then get acquainted with your campus librarians if you've not already done so.
Tutorial for Info Power (TIP) from the University of Wyoming is a much briefer alternative to IRIS and is also quite good (45 minutes).
PS. Another possibility would be to go through the screens of the University of Idaho Information Literacy Tutorial. There are easy multiple choice quizzes at the end of each module. And lots of screen based activities in the sidebar. Only a few parts are not relevant in the DCCCD (Like module 6: UI Catalog)
You may want to consider a modified version of the Discovery and Intention Journaling System as a method for
encouraging students to reflect on their information Literacy activities. It consists of two steps and a simple journal
entry. The entries need not be long. And they can be shared in class or in groups.
For example:
It's as simple as that.
You may even want to ask your students to create personal blogs (perhaps using Blogger) in which they enter discoveries and intentions about all aspects of their lives. It could also double as research log, which is often recommended as a way to help researchers both become aware of their research habits and keep track ofthe myriad of details in a complex research project.
We'll use this space to lend assistance in whatever form we learn works best.
