I recently completed the 'Information Literacy and Instruction' course at Stanmore School of Business and was impressed by the depth and breadth of the course content. As an educator, I was looking to develop my skills in teaching information literacy to students, and this course provided me with a comprehensive framework for doing so. The course materials were well-organized and included plenty of examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate key concepts and make them more accessible. I appreciated the focus on instructional design and the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. One area for improvement might be the addition of more interactive elements, such as quizzes or games, to enhance student engagement. Overall, however, I was very satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone looking to develop their instructional skills in information literacy.
