摘要
In an effort to improve the information literacy skills in high school students, a group of librarians created InfoSkills2Go, a Web-accessible series of tutorials, games, and assessments for students to learn and practice information literacy skills and concepts. The group added a gamification layer that awards points and badges to students for completing tasks. This article details the planning and construction of the Web site and makes recommendations for similar projects. A pilot study shows learning gains for some students who engaged with the Web site.
