InfoSkills: a holistic approach to on-line user education

Creating successful learning environments depends on many factors. When developing "InfoSkills", Bournemouth University's Web-based library tutorial, the aim was to create not only a generic, pedagogically sound product based on the post-induction needs of our students, but one which also provided an added-value package to link with, and work alongside, established practices and products. Consolidating the information skills learning experience and bringing into a more flexible environment worked to the students' and our own advantage. We now have a product that successfully underpins the library's and university's learning and teaching aims, but one which can easily be extended and modified for usage for similar institutions.
