CoPILOT (Community of Practice for Information Literacy Online Teaching)

Hi everyone,

I just want to pass on this message to you as I thought you may be interested. Please pass it on to anyone else who may find it useful:

We thought that some of you would be interested to know that a new sub-group of the CILIP Information Literacy Group called CoPILOT (Community of Practice for Information Literacy Online Teaching) has been formed. The sub-group's aim is to support and encourage the development and sharing of information literacy teaching materials as open educational resources, primarily within the UK.

The Group's initial activities will be to establish an online space for the Community of Practice and to organise a training event on Creative Commons for those who deliver IL teaching. The remit and membership of the Group is attached if you'd like to find out more about us.

We have also started work on a wiki at http://iloer.pbworks.com. If you are interested in contributing to the wiki, please contact Eleni Zazani (e.zazani@bbk.ac.uk) and Ella Mitchell (e.mitchell@UEL.AC.UK).

If you'd like to keep up with the work of the group and developments in this area, we have set up a JISCMail list - IL-OERS@jiscmail.ac.uk. You can also follow us on Twitter: @CoPILOT2013 if you wish to join the IL-OERS mailing list please follow this link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=IL-OERS and click on Subscribe.  You will be asked to register and then you will be able to join the list.

I'll keep you posted on any new developments, as I'm on the committee!
