No Simple Solution for Improving Students’ Research and Critical Evaluation Skills


The ability to locate, evaluate and accurately utilize complex information, often referred to as information literacy, is a critical skill for success in school, work and life. A new study by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) recommends colleges and universities implement institutional information literacy strategies to help students develop these skills. While the study examined several different models for teaching information literacy, on their own none proved significantly advantageous, and the authors suggest multiple approaches may be required.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Here you'll get a list of online back up services. Bottom line as an online pro I need all my workfiles in a secure cloud. Now that I"m actually using my Carbonite account to recover from a total laptop meltdown, I've had an account for two years on two machines, This is the first time I've needed it. I'm glad I have a service.  (Not so happy that it will take 3 days to restore the files or an hour in que to get through to tech support.) 


It's always nice to have alternates. Let's see if hot competion improves service and drives down prices.
