4. My background & context

5. Theoretical background

6. Definition information and digital literacy
Information literacy (ACRL, 2016):
- is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of
information, the understanding of how information is produced and
valued,
- and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating
ethically in communities of learning.
Digital literacy (Glazenburg & Mitzschke, 2021, adapted by presenter):
- is the set of knowledge, skills and critical attitude to navigate digital
society professionally and ethically,
- about the cultivation of an attitude to remain knowledgeable, proficient
and literate with digital contexts, tools and skills.

7. Digital literacy frameworks
EU Dig Comp 2.2
(Vuorikari, et al. 2022) JISC (2022)

8. Linking digital- and information literacy
• The battle of the literacies?

9. Linking digital- and information literacy
• The battle of the literacies?
• Beyond theory, linking pins?
 Literacies should complement each other!

10. Focus points Digital Literacy @UM
General (academic) literacy
- Critical thinking, ethics and scientific integrity
• Academic digital creation, collaboration
and communication
- including Copyright
• Digital learning, development and
transformation
- General digital skills, Data analysis software, new technologies
• Safety
- Cybersecurity, Data privacy, Wellbeing

11. Practical application

12. How does it look in practice: Plagiarism workshop
• Plagiarism workshop
- AI developments as opportunity
- Taking existing elements and making digital (and
information) literacy explicit!

13. Example: Plagiarism
• How does ChatGPT/AI tools fit within plagiarism
definitions?
• What aspects of scientific integrity should we look at if
we want to use AI tools?
• If we look at rules and regulations, are we (students)
allowed to use AI tools? What are potential
consequences of misconduct?
• If we use AI tools, how can we do so while considering
ethics, integrity and transparency?

14. Another example: AI tools & information literacy
• Content of the tools: information literacy
• The use of the tools: digital literacy
 Complementation of the literacies!

15. How do these look like:
• Short introduction the workings of AI
• Introduction to the topic and the pre-selected
tools
• Assignment in groups/homework
• Next meeting: gather results/input,  decide
on what to do

16. Conclusion/summary
• The literacies can be combined and should
complement each other
• Making digital aspects explicit can be a first
step, AI developments as opportunity?!

17. …and what about your
thoughts/experiences?

18. Thank you very much!

19. If you are up for it, experiment with an AI tool!
• Take your device and open either:
- ChatGPT, Consensus, Perplexity, Research Rabbit
- Start by asking it a (research) question
- Look at the answer and compare it to the same
search in google (scholar)
- Evaluate whether the AI tool has added value for
information literacy education
