Literature Review of Online Learning in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Online learning refers to instruction that is delivered electronically through various multimedia and internet platforms and applications. It is used interchangeably with other terms such as "online learning," "web-based learning," "e-learning," "computer-assisted instruction," and "Internet-based learning" (Ruiz, Mintzer, & Leipzig, 2006). This chapter includes a review of the literature published between 2010 and 2015 on online learning in information literacy instruction in academic libraries. Information about the landscape of online information literacy instruction is presented including summaries about the technology used to create online instructional resources and the technology used to present and access online instruction. Both limitations and best practices relating to online instruction for information literacy are discussed.

The Effect of Literacy Skills on the Critical Thinking Skills of Mathematics Education Students

“…It is also following the results of tests carried out in Siu Cheung Kong's research that students have statistically significant growth in information literacy competencies and critical thinking skills (Kong, S. C., 2014). Besides, there has been a tremendous increase in scientific research related to information literacy (Maddison, T., Doi, C., Lucky, S., & Kumaran, 2017). Much of this scientific and technical literature focuses on literacy skills of this kind (Koneru, 2010;Nagra, K. A., & Coiffe, 2010;Oud, 2009;Summey & Valenti, 2013;Turnbow & Roth, 2017), examples of particular initiatives (Clapp et al, 2013;Georgas, 2014;Holliday et al, 2006;Webb et al, 2017), reviews of best practices (Blummer & Kritskaya, 2009;Dewan & Steeleworthy, 2013;Fernández-Ramos, 2016;Munn & Small, 2017;Somoza-Fernández & Abadal, 2009), analysis of their main characteristics (Fernández-Ramos, 2016;Saunders, 2018;Somoza-Fernández & Abadal, 2009;Yang & Chou, 2014) or studies about their usefulness (Anderson & Mitchell, 2012;Fernández-Ramos, 2019;Haber & Mitchell, 2017;Schweikhard et al, 2018;Weightman et al, 2017).…”

Indonesian smart schools: Their influence on the ability of information literacy on the biology field

“…Students also tend to look for sources outside of the sources that have been provided in the application, this can be an indication that they have a higher level of need for information to solve an existing problem. Furthermore, today's learning Information Literacy based on digital has become a trend of its own, such as the use of learning instruction information literacy that was o (Maddison, Doi, Lucky, & Kumaran, 2017), analysis of characteristics (Fernández-Ramos, 2016;Saunders, 2018;Yang & Chou, 2014) or the benefits of information literacy (Anderson & Wilson, 2009;Haber & Mitchell, 2017) are all done with digital and systems. As well as seen from the ease of accessing information and being able to stimulate independent learning into a positive impact of digitalization of information literacy learning (Fernández-Ramos, 2019).…”

The Effectiveness of Archiving Videos and Online Learning on Student’s Learning and Innovation Skills

“…Online learning is structured and taught to provide a new style of student learning (Series, 2019;Singh & Thurman, 2019). The goal is not different from ordinary learning, which is to provide understanding to students (Maddison, Doi, Lucky, & Kumaran, 2017;Nur & Wan, 2019). In a further development, online learning can accommodate the soft skills required to enrich the quality of human resources in modern times (Chou, Wu, & Tsai, 2018;Nortvig, Petersen, & Balle, 2018;Sulisworo, Ummah, Nursolikh, & Rahardjo, 2020).…”
