Description

In an increasingly interconnected world, there is a need to prepare students to become more knowledgeable of different cultures and global matters. Furthermore, in a time which is characterized by disinformation, information literacy becomes more important than ever before. By taking into account transnational perspectives in learning these topics, e-learning provides us with the opportunity to connect students who otherwise would not have the chance to meet and get into knowledge related discourse with each other. In this context, the project „Intercultural perspectives on Information Literacy“ (IPIL) aims to realize a transnational learning community in which students from different countries … continued below

Description

In an increasingly interconnected world, there is a need to prepare students to become more knowledgeable of different cultures and global matters. Furthermore, in a time which is characterized by disinformation, information literacy becomes more important than ever before. By taking into account transnational perspectives in learning these topics, e-learning provides us with the opportunity to connect students who otherwise would not have the chance to meet and get into knowledge related discourse with each other. In this context, the project „Intercultural perspectives on Information Literacy“ (IPIL) aims to realize a transnational learning community in which students from different countries engage in knowledge building discourse to foster intercultural learning and information literacy. The first IPIL course was conducted in winter term 2019/2020. Since then multiple transnational courses and workshops have been carried out. The last course took place in the winter semester 2021/2022. The didactical structure of IPIL follows a constructivist socio-cultural approach of knowledge building and knowledge creation in which learners from different higher education institutions with diverse cultural backgrounds engage in learning related discourse on topics related to information literacy. To enable such learning, the learning environment is structured into three levels (community, learning cycles, group learning task) that bring together instructors, define a frame to coordinate and execute the collaborative learning processes in the transnational groups and provide the topics and didactic structure for students´ collaborative learning in transnational groups. The presentation will provide an overview of the development of the project and its current state. It will report on basic principles, e.g. low threshold for participation and the idea that learning should result in the provision of Open Educational Resources (OER) as well as on experiences with regard to feasibility and learning outcomes.
