Informed learning: Engaging with information enables learning

Informed Learning aims to contextualize information literacy education within subject learning. The Informed Learning model is guided by three principles that focus on: building on learners' previous experiences of using information to learn, emphasizing learning to use information and subject content simultaneously, and fostering new awareness of both using information and subject content. Demonstrating its adaptability for reflective and collaborative inquiry, Informed Learning has been used to create new tools and approaches to enable educators to develop learning experiences in which learners come to see new ways of using information.
