Test Your Students' Information Literacy IQ

Information Literacy is the ability to know when you need information, to know what kind of information you need, to know where to find this information, to know how to determine if it's good information and to use it effectively. There are a set of Information Literacy standards and those standards are integrated into state curriculum standards.

Thre is a tool available called TRAILS (Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills). TRAILS is a web-based, multiple choice assessment targeting those Information Literacy skills. If you would like to assess your students' grasp of Information Literacy standards, please see me to schedule a session to test your students.
