Information Literate Through Blended Learning

Europe, in 2010 wants to be the most renewing and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world. It is necessary to work smart with information and therefore develop skills and understanding to locate, process and use information effectively. Students nowadays work very proficient with programs like Google and MSN, but don't handle information - or communication resources- very critically. The problem is not in finding information as much as in selecting the correct information from the enormous offer. Therefore we think it's necessary to help students to become information literate, using a didactic model by means of which information literacy can be acquired. In this article we emphasize on a good learning environment through a competence based blended leaning concept and the relevance of additional training for teachers, to be able to assist students getting more information literate in a structured way.
