I'm thrilled to have taken the Information Literacy Instruction course at Stanmore School of Business! As a librarian, I wanted to enhance my skills in teaching information literacy to my community. The course exceeded my expectations, providing me with practical strategies and techniques to design engaging instruction sessions. The course materials were top-notch, and I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking and media literacy. I've already applied the knowledge I gained to develop a new workshop series, which has received fantastic feedback from our patrons. Kudos to the instructors for creating such a valuable learning experience!

I found the Information Literacy Instruction course to be quite useful, especially in terms of understanding how to evaluate online sources and identify bias. The course materials were relevant and well-structured, making it easy to follow along. I appreciated the examples and case studies, which helped illustrate key concepts. One area for improvement could be adding more interactive elements, such as discussions or group activities, to enhance the learning experience. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with what I learned and feel more confident in my ability to teach information literacy to my students.

I enrolled in the Information Literacy Instruction course to enhance my research skills and learn how to teach information literacy to my colleagues. The course content was detailed and informative, covering a wide range of topics, including database searching and information ethics. I found the course materials to be of high quality, with plenty of examples and illustrations to support the concepts. One aspect that I found particularly useful was the discussion on avoiding plagiarism and promoting academic integrity. While the course was well-structured, I would have liked to see more opportunities for feedback and interaction with the instructors. Overall, I'm satisfied with what I learned and feel more confident in my ability to conduct research and teach others.
