Pilot Study Examining Student Learning Gains Using Online Information Literacy Modules

摘要

This study grew out of the Information Literacy Modules initiative at the University of Central Florida. It served to establish a potential model that could be used in the future. The pretest/posttest design used in the study provided a first look at students' prior knowledge related to module content. Scores for two of the three modules examined, CSS and EWS, indicated that the majority of students had experience with these topics. This motivated the investigators to focus on the FIS module, which showed significant student improvement from pretest to posttest.
