The workshop is based on the outcomes of the e-CDF 423 Information Literacy e-Learning Modules project, funded by the Tertiary Education Commission in New Zealand.  The aim of this 2-year project is to develop a range of on-line modules, predicated on the ANZIIL standards of information literacy, and amenable to adaptation and use in a range of contexts. The project was conceived to address four main areas in the tertiary sector associated with information literacy learning:

• Barriers to tertiary study which can occur as a result of poor information literacy skills and the diverse needs of marginalised, mature and distance students.
• A shortage of high quality online information literacy modules which are reusable, portable and have pedagogical flexibility.
• A need for professional development opportunities for staff in the area of information literacy.
• A tertiary sector requirement for centrally maintained and managed, standards- conformant, online resources in this important foundation field.

By the end of the workshop, it is intended that participants will be able to:

• discuss information literacy needs and practices in tertiary settings,
• identify and use interactive online resources to support information literacy in the tertiary sector,
• explain models and elements of design for interactive learning systems,
• access and critique the project online information literacy modules,
• discuss factors associated with reusability of online resources,
• understand an approach to customising existing online information literacy modules,
• create new resources for online learning using the online information literacy modules and an adapted open source content management system (Magnolia),
• identify and discuss some processes associated with evaluation research.
