Part #9: Information Literacy Assessment
ILAAP is an online assessment of information literacy skills tool that is available for students to take before the Information Literacy segment taught by the library during Orientation to the Academy and after it. This test is scored by outside librarians using computerized scoring, so that faculty have a good idea of the baseline information literacy skills of incoming Ottawa University students. The ILAAP assessment is taken again at the end of the of the Writing in the Disciplines course to determine how well students have progressed toward becoming information literate.
