    4. Why Make Web-based Education a Priority for InfoLit Instruction? Students’ educational expectations Convenience of virtual space Reaching the masses

    5. Enhancing Information Literacy Instruction with Tutorials Allows for progressive reinforcement of information literacy concepts In-person instruction with students can be more advanced and student-centered Pre-college tutorials may help better prepare teens for college-level research

    6. Concepts Taught via Teen Information Literacy Tutorial Developing a Research Topic Writing a Thesis Statement Identifying Popular and Scholarly Literature Understanding and Recognizing Primary Research Researching Pro/Con issues Listening and Note Taking Plagiarism And much more!

    7. Student Learning Outcomes Popular vs. Scholarly Module Learning Objective(s): Student learns to recognize the difference between popular and scholarly journals based on author, audience, language, appearance, references, and status (peer-reviewed or not). Assessment of Learning Outcome(s): Step 1: Prequiz to determine student's understanding of the concepts to be taught. Step 2: Tutorial Quiz results measure student's understanding of the concepts taught in the corresponding module. Step 3: Student's ability to apply the concepts taught in successful completion of the corresponding high school assignment.

    8. Measuring Student Learning Quizzes at the end of each module test students’ knowledge upon completion. Quiz data can be used to tailor content of both library and course instruction. Library is able to provide teachers and librarians with data about their students’ knowledge.

    9. Quizzes and Queries Students register to take a tutorial. Quiz scores are automatically emailed to the student upon completion. Results are stored in a local database. Queries allow us to see quiz scores by class, student, semester (includes class averages and scores by question).
