Margot Hanson  Program Description:
LILO (Learning Information Literacy Online) is a joint project of librarians throughout the University of Hawaii system. The system's UH Libraries Information Literacy Committee members collaborate on improving the online tutorial on an ongoing basis. We have integrated video, both from other institutions in addition to our own creations, images, screencasts, and an interactive journal within the tutorial to aid student understanding. Students are able to save their work in their LILO journal, and come back to refer to or complete their journals. This lends to an interactive experience, rather than the students just reading text pages online about information literacy topics. Saved journals can be assessed by librarians, who can create information literacy reports for instructors. The LILO site is accessible by community members and others outside of the University of Hawaii system with a guest login, and local high schools are interested in using it for information literacy instruction.
