1. How practical can you get?
A simple way to create an
information literacy tutorial
Jacqui Weetman DaCosta
2. Some practical information
From August 2006

of New Jersey
– Small, highly selective
(4 year) state-funded
college
From 1999-2006
(as Weetman)
• Academic Team Manager
at De Montfort
University, Leicester
3. How practical will this be?
• Evaluation of existing IL
tutorial
• Review of tutorials
currently ‘on the market’
• Development stages of
new IL tutorial
– Working with students
• Hands-on
4. i-LION Tutorial
• Adapted from TILT (Texas Information
Literacy Tutorial)
http://tilt.lib.utsystem.edu/
• Serves as course material for IDS 102
– Mandatory online course for all new
students since Fall 2004
– Six modules, each with a quiz
– Need to pass course in order to graduate
– Replaced first year induction
• Available for anyone to access from
web pages http://www.tcnj.edu/~ilion/
5. Evaluation of i-LION
• Student surveys
– April 2007 (2 cohorts)
• Sent to 1859 students
• Response rate – 16%
– November 2007
• Sent to 1478 students
• Response rate – 35.5%
• Analysis of content
usage
– SOCS (TCNJ course
management software)
6. Student surveys
Strongly agree and
Agree responses
April 2007 November
2007
The tutorial was
easy to understand
71.8% 73.3%
I acquired valuable
skills & knowledge
47.7% 59.4%
I liked the fact
that the course was
all online
86.3% 91.7%
7. Some student comments
April
“It was a pain and I put it off, but
after I did it, I was glad I did
it.”
“I liked how I could take my time
and go at my desired pace to
complete the iLion courses.”
“I, as well as every other freshman
I know, paid the one nerdy kid
that actually did it for the
answers.”
November
“I was very glad that the course
was offered online. I wish there
were more online courses.”
“Possibly break down the tutorials
further in more manageable
sections. So, instead of taking
45 min to complete a section,
break it up into smaller 20 min
sections.”
“Eventually the course turns into a
game of Mastermind, where you
just try combination after
combination, too lazy to read
through the actual lessons.”
8. The sad reality
• There is no way to ensure
that students actually
complete the
assessments themselves
• Many students are going
straight to the
assessments and ignoring
the course content
– Limiting number of
attempts (Spring 2008)

techno-thicko!
