Telstar and information literacy November 20, 2009

Information literacy will be the theme of the first meeting of the new academic year’s programme for the CoFHE London and South East Circle (LASEC) which will take place at 3 pm on Friday 20 November at CILIP, 7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE.

• The JISC funded TELSTAR project (in collaboration with RefWorks) is looking at how references are integrated into the Open University e-learning environment (both the Moodle VLE, and the Student ePortfolio environment), and how we can make it easy for students to use citations and references appropriately in their assessed work. Owen Stephens, the Project Manager, will talk about the work of the project and demonstrate the progress made in the project to date.

• Then there will be a sharing good practice session on information literacy. Do bring your presentations, handouts and other materials, and tell your colleagues what you do, how it works and what you’re planning to improve. It’s free to attend to anyone with an interest in the subject.

If you’d like to attend please let Stephen Wickens, the LASEC Secretary know so there will be enough (free) refreshments: [email protected] Coming soon: news of an e-resources management session and our annual day school
