Learner Profile
The learners may be pretty much anyone. The course will, however, be pitched towards those working in an information literacy field, but particularly libraries. Therefore, the students are likely to:
- Have previous tertiary-level qualifications
- Have good information literacy skills
- Have a strong desire to grow these skills
- Be used to using technology
- Have access to technology
- Be required to study for their career development and to maintain professional registration.
- Work in an environment that both values knowledge and encourages disseminating knowledge
- Have access to colleagues who can assist them in their studies
Since this course is designed for professional development, learners may not be able to dedicate much work time to study or may have higher priorities to which they must attend. The materials, however, are designed to allow learners to access them from where ever they have an internet connection. Moreover, the materials are designed for short sessions that allow the learner to dip in and out or delve a little deeper.
