User centred information literacy education - Application of multimedia in e-learning and blended learning

This case study presents the application of multimedia in an E-learning and blended learning product which aims at developing students' information literacy. The paper will elaborate on our development concept. Especially, on how we have applied our main principle; to create user focused e-learning. This means that we have aimed at taking the user's perspective and taken into account that we are going to facilitate virtual rooms for reflection, where the learner can create new knowledge. We have applied a problem oriented approach to learning because we wanted the learner to become motivated and personally engaged.
