Bob Glass
Bob says he doesn’t have time for a blog, so I thought I’d add him to mine!
Amongst many other things, Bob is responsible for the Information Literacy area of the LearnHigher CETL, at Manchester Metropolitan University. I’ve mentioned it on my blog before so won’t go into details here – the link is above. Bob told us about his interest in assessing IL – he has been working with John Madison University in the US to use their online IL assessment tool to discover what an Information Audit can tell us about first years and to see if an MCQ test can be an effective tool for IL assessment. I’d like to use this tool alongside my own assessment exercise which I’m hoping to run with chemists and environmental science students this year, but Bob tells me there’s a charge for using it, so I may have to think again.
