In this eCourse, Trudi Jacobson and Thomas Mackey, authors of the book Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners, will cover everything that you need to know about metaliteracy—from theory to practice.

Jacobson and Mackey will show you how to expand the scope of traditional information skills to include the collaborative production and sharing of information in the participatory digital environments which are prevalent today.  They will also offer you several real-world examples of how metaliteracy can be applied to your teaching practices, both in the classroom and online.
