I'm not aware of such a course at my university (Vienna University of Economics and Business). Most courses deal with economy, business and law. We teach topics concerning Business Informatics - yet I don't know a course which addresses information literacy skills.

Exeter has developed various tools for information literacy both as generic courses and as part of taught subject courses. As most of them are not credit-bearing any exercises use self-assessment quizzes

Information literacy is an integral part of the educational programs with problem/project based learning at Twente University. Within a 3-year Bachelor program information literacy is adressed explicitely 3 to 4 times discussing different (research) questions and showing various resources both within the university (library) and from open internet. Assessment is done by an Information Specialist and a teacher responsible for the content of the project: only with appropiate skills a project can be finished at a sufficient level and depth. We have a web-based tool for self assessment.

Teachers use the tool group eRubric Gtea [http://gteavirtual.org/rubric], to assess basic skills with different techniques within a formative assessment model (peer assessment, self-assessment, group presentations, etc.) . We know there are many other teachers with access to this international erúbrica in Europe, Latin America and North America who also use different methodologies and purposes.

If understanding written Spanish or Portuguese, see http://proyectoridef.wordpress.com

At Technical College we do not teach information literacy skills. It is assumed that enrollers/new students comes wit these skills, mostly based on ECDL standards, see http://ecdl.org/

Thanks for the answers.

I also find a paper that gives an overview of the methods currently applied for information literacy assessment: A. Walsh, « Information literacy assessment Where do we start? », Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, vol. 41, nᵒ 1, p. 19–28, 2009.

There is a large list of assessment types and resources available from: http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/infolitassessments.htm

I am especially pleased to find the resources listed here. I believe that assessing "real world" skills is usually an afterthought and not truly valued by many of the faculty that I've dealt with. Employers are begging to hire new graduates that can demonstrate what are often called "soft skills" like critical thinking, creativity, and communication. Information literacy should be a part of that as businesses need great information (data) to stay competitive. Hats off to those universities and colleges that recognize that the higher education world is changing rapidly and are responding quickly or proactively working with employers to meet workforce needs.

the url Laurent Moccozet have mentioned is the one I want to share too. in addition, i introduce RRSA, which i have seen in HONGKONG.

But all of them are not free,very expensive. we can't konw the questions and how to scale.

the most famous one is SAILS with over 200 question,4$ per one.i really want to know the questions.......

Fortunately, i have the questions of RRSA

In China,lots of university have IL courese. But i think the course is BL ,not IL.

Now i just try to change BL to IL for my BIO graduates(1st year)

I use RSQC2

i introduce a book, Classroom assessment techniques, a handbook for college tearchers, written by Thomas A. Angelo and K. Patricia Cross http://www.amazon.com/Classroom-Assessment-Techniques-Handbook-Teachers/dp/1555425003
