Welcome to the Information Literacy Virtual Community!
The Information Literacy Virtual Community explores all aspects of information literacy. We examine multiple types of literacies (visual, digital, media), ways that language changes, sociocultural context, protecting yourself from false information, and many other issues related to how adults access and use knowledge to meet their goals and work to create a world they want to live in.
Information literacy involves the ability to determine the need for information, access information, evaluate the validity of information, apply information to solve problems, communicate information to others, respect the influence of sociocultural context, adhere to ethics in using information, and knowledge creation. Information literacy is closely related to media and digital literacy.
Join the discussion on the
challenges of teaching and communicating in a polarized world!
