Abstract

Information literacy skills for nurses: to assess or not to assess?

This interactive workshop looks at issues surrounding the assessment of information literacy skills – what skills we might want to assess and why, and how such assessments can be done. Working in groups and supported by the facilitators, participants will design a short assessment based on a case study. The results of a piece of action research on assessment will also be presented, giving participants further guidance on the issues surrounding assessment .

Presented with Alison Gordon and Margaret Forrest
