Is the Future of Information Literacy Instruction Blended? Re-Imagining Information Literacy Instruction Post-Pandemic

Abstract

Post-pandemic, blended learning is on the rise and librarians should keep pace with this new modality of teaching in their information literacy pr­­­­ogrammes. Following an introduction to the drivers of blended learning in higher education, the implementation of blended learning in information literacy programmes is discussed, including some examples from literature. Research-backed benefits of blended learning are then covered, together with some recommendations on factors that facilitate the adoption of blended learning in libraries.
