Data - in the sense of learning to use datasets as resources
Ethical aspects of information and of being online - don't just look for information that supports your own world view
Build in different levels of support/training appropriate to student need (c/f scaffolding)
Synergy with learning outcomes already in university course curriculum, in order to get IL curriculum embedded
Group questions:
1) Briefly outline your information literacy teaching now
- is it underpinned by a specific model (e.g. SCONUL 7 pillars)
2) How has your information literacy teaching changed in last 3-5 years?
3) To what extent do you think undergraduate's information needs have changed in the last 3-5 years?
- What areas do you think undergraduate students need help with now?
- Is there a gap in skills or expectations between the culture of secondary school and the learning culture of higher education?
4) What changes in your teaching do you anticipate you will need to make in the future to continue to meet the changing needs and behaviour of students?
5) Who else do you think we should talk to when planning this curriculum?
- what other factors do we need to take into account?
Other questions - possibly for later groups
6) What format do you think an information curriculum of the future should take?
7) How much work do you do with teachers and school librarians to plan for the curriculum in the future?
