This article describes the instructional design and development of an online, for-credit information literacy course for distance students at a large research university. The course was accepted for the university's Innovation Academy which is a new educational model where students blend on-and off-campus learning. Course development and sample assignments called "Literacy Labs" are described in detail, demonstrating how the course supports the American Library Association standards of information literacy, while acknowledging the role of students as content creators.
