Overarching themes

• Movement beyond technical skills to concepts learned not only in formal education but also in students’ informal interest-driven practices

• Stronger emphasis on critical analysis, filtering and creation of information in various formats as well as on communication and collaboration in groups

• Recognition of multiple literacies and socially and contextually situated nature of literacy

• Literacy for lifelong learning, democracy, citizenship

Credibility Research• Predictive, Evaluative,

Verification (Rieh and Hilligoss, 2007)

• Strategies: Trusted Places; Multiple Resources and Verification; Compromising Quality for Speed

• Distinguish between types of information but overestimate skill; recognize need to evaluate but automaticity wins out over effortful consideration (Metzger and Flanagin, 2010)
