Thirteen mobile information literacy eLearning lessons have been designed to demonstrate how to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. Testing of the tool is underway with students majoring in psychology, social work, and education to determine the effectiveness of using mobile technology to enhance students’ information literacy skills. This poster highlights the development and application of the mobile information literacy innovation, the collaboration between faculty and the Library and preliminary findings of the pilot project. Successes and challenges of the research project to support anytime, anywhere student mobile information literacy eLearning training will be highlighted.

Student Feedback on MIL TrainingStudent Feedback on MIL Training • Students reported positive experience with the info literacy lessons and the use of mobile technology: “short lessons but to the point;” “easy to use”; “creative – different test/quiz styles” • Students liked the flexibility/ availability of any time learning: “very convenient”; “learn on my own time, anywhere”; “able to review from time to time”
- 28. Student Feedback on the MIL TrainingStudent Feedback on the MIL Training • Use of mobile technology would be good supplementary medium of learning: “I can access and learn on Wi-Fi on campus and on bus.” • Greatest concern was cost of Internet access. “don’t have data so cannot always get internet.”

- My projects and passion for mobile learing
- What is it? Information literacy is the concept of recognizing when information is needed to support or inform an idea, as well as the ability to locate this information and use it effectively. For our students, this often times means using research databases to find articles, reports, conference proceedings, etc. to support their ideas being presented in a paper. This is often a huge challenge for students because research databases require different search tactics than Google. As librarians, we spend a great deal of instructing students on database search tactics in classroom settings. Mobile information literacy can refer to a number of different ideas, for example: teaching users how to evaluate mobile content such as apps. For our purposes, mobile information literacy refers to the integrations of technology into the information literacy learning process.
- We currently have over 20 videos that teach about topics such as Boolean Operators, database functions, writing search strategies in keywords, etc. However, the literature shows that interactivity and assessment help to reinforce concepts learned, so our project would focus on creating activities to complement the videos. These activities would be made accessible on a mobile-friendly website. The goal is to make the activities entertaining enough for students to engage with the content while they’re waiting in line, sitting on the bus, before classes, etc. We want to make a true point-of-need library service that benefits students and makes their library experience fun! Tony approached me in the fall 2013 semester to see if I would act as an information literacy consultant on this project based on my experience teaching LINC sessions (he previously attended a BSBM session I instructed). My task has been to brainstorm topics that should be addressed, create activities, and co-ordinate the activities based on our current videos. Tony is working with a former colleague at Athabasca University to create the first draft of this project, but there is a lot to improve upon this first draft! Tony is now working with some colleagues at Renison to apply for grant funding to propel this project forward more quickly.

- analyze user traffic and paint a complete picture of your audience and their needs e a visual assessment of how visitors interact with your pages.

- Multipel choice True/false
- Three slides – separate them into three different slides
- Collective intellgient. Contribute knowledge – consteuctie knowledge – approach. Social consstructist approach.
- This video will have to be narrated by the presenter. The CPA example is clicked twice on purpose so that viewers will be able to see the animation the second time (since it goes by so quickly)
- Subjects Involved in Study Social Work and Social Developmental Studies student participants volunteer to test the MIL Tool. 23 students, age, type of phone Total #?? Mobile deive= tablet or laptop
- Visual with pictures.
- 58% of students were able to maintain or increase their scores from beginning to end of semester. 42% of students scores decreased their scores Reasons: incomplete lessons, limited internet access, poor screen visibility, poor sound quality. What we learn – we are finding info – explorary study – this is not an outcome study (pilot –trial and error).
- Why? Help better design
- Focus on something pratical and relevant to academic, not something general (write a paper) not orange 2nd 3rd pass 1 year. They don’t need basic info.
- QualiRY AND PLAN – LEARING ON THE GO IS IT SERIOUS . 10% don’t like mobile technology – destop and 37% need extra support – not know the tech but – 50% is keen on using. Not only to use but aso advocate m-learn. To other studetnts. – high %
- Like the flexitibity. May not be for learning Like, however challeges
- Like it and find out –their experience – Learning slide – how to do better – why- you tell us .. Why quality of living? Small screen – time. – not as convincing as it is Many tech challenge – improve our tools such as screen size, resolution, wifi access, data
- POSTIVE – DESPITE THE SCORE – early stage of developemtn – I am on the right track with mobile learnig – fine tune our tool
- TWO – SCREEN waiting for the bus or being on the bus or whenever there is some spare time
- 1. How best we can design the content (e.g. how short is each lesson, what type of video lesson or text info and exercises do student want 2. What format to use. Our site is mobile friendly, work with desktop and mobile. 3. Different display model. It works with IOS but has issue with Android regarding display. Html5 make it responsive and fluid. Cannot resize, text size to small to view 4. Different standard, especially OS (work with IOS and not android). Drag and drop only works with touch screen phone. 5. Not all smartphone would accept Unicode if we want to deliver lessons in different language 6. Slow internet connectivity could impact access to video in the lessons. 4.
