Hello all,
I am a postgraduate student studying Information Management at Sheffield
University.
For my dissertation I am investigating the potential of Virtual Learning
Environments for the teaching or support of Information Literacy in Higher
Education Institutions in the UK.
I have signed up to this list in order to find people (preferably working
in Higher Education Institutions) that have an interest in VLEs,
Information Literacy, or both.
The first part of my dissertation research will take the form of a survey
questionnaire sent to the library or leaning centres of every HE
institution in the UK. This will try to provide an overview of the use of
VLEs in Universities/Colleges generally, and then in relation to the
support of Information Literacy. I will also be looking at the use of
other Web-based resources currently being used or developed to teach
Information Literacy as a contrast to the VLE usage.
If anyone would be willing to fill in the questionnaire on behalf of the HE
institution at which they work it would be great to hear from you (this
will be sent out in late April/early May).
If anyone has opinions/ideas about this topic of research or would like to
see my dissertation proposal that input would also be gratefully accepted.
You can email me directly at [log in to unmask] if you wish.
Thank you for your time,
Hannah Hough
