Submitted a proposal for a poster presentation.
Basically (!) it was a bastardised version of Lindsey's New York E-Lit abstract.
Need to sort out publicity. Small fold-up handouts.
Also need to design poster - speak to JD about laminating and best way to do it

Session outline
Collaboration between learning technologists and information specialists has resulted in an innovative and flexible approach to facilitating information literacy through use of WebCT and the application of the SCONUL ‘seven pillars’ model.
At Edge Hill, we have taken the decision to develop our own tutorial. This is after discussion and collaboration with colleagues across the institution who are themselves involved in improving students learning and who wish to see them engage with technology and electronic information sources.
Our tutorial, EXPERTease, is rapidly becoming a valuable contribution to the developing e-literacy of students and staff within the institution. We believe this is because it incorporates an understanding of the technological and pedagogical issues as well as the information literacy content.
Although the tutorial’s learning outcomes are concerned with information literacy, there have been unexpected outcomes that suggest that it develops e-literacy. Many users report that the tutorial has also increased their confidence in using technology, the communication tools within WebCT and applying the appropriate protocols necessary for communicating in a virtual learning environment.
The tutorial forms part of the Student Support strand of the COMET 2 project.
EXPERTease has recently been awarded second runner up in the Times Higher/ LTSN e-Tutor of the Year competition. Judging criteria evaluated innovative practice, sound pedagogic design and implementation and high levels of interactivity.
So far the tutorial has been customised to meet the particular needs of Health and Education students but it can be easily adapted to fit the needs of other subjects.
We now face the challenge of scaling up and succession planing to ensure the tutorial passes from small-scale project to embedded in our service delivery.
