Information Literacy
About this Course
We live in the information age, and we are inundated with information on a daily basis. With so much information coming at us so fast, how do we know what’s true? How do we know which information is real? How can we fact-check what we read and see? In this class, you will explore the answers to these questions by learning information literacy. You will learn how to evaluate the information you see on the Internet as well as academic information. You will also learn how to access credible sources of information and share that information with others. In later modules, you will learn about different types of sources, how to develop an academic research question, and how to find scholarly sources on that topic. The course concludes with modules about formally presenting your research, citing it properly, and ensuring academic integrity by avoiding plagiarism. This course can be used to fulfill the Information Literacy requirement at Thomas Edison State University in the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science Degree. It will not satisfy the Information Literacy Requirements in any other degrees at TESU.Created by: Thomas Edison State University
