A situated view on Information Literacy: Epistemological issues and practical solutions through analysis of participatory media in learning environments Fredrik Hanell PhD student Library and Information Studies Lund University

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy A socio-cultural perspective Säljö (2010): -people's activities are always situated and mediated by tools Activity as an empirical focus encourages the study of people's practices (repeated historical, social, cultural and material activities). Learning and information literacy (IL) as embedded in contexts. cf. Lloyd (2006); Sundin & Francke (2009); Wertsch (1991)

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Information Literacy & Literacy IL as an integral part of every literacy: as information (literacy) practices integrated with different literacy practices. IL, as well as learning, is situated Lankshear & Knobel (2006, p. 64): - “socially recognized ways of generating, communicating and negotiating meaningful content through the medium of encoded texts within contexts of participation in Discourses” Gee (2007): - to understand (read) and produce (write) meaning

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy A generic view on Information Literacy Information Literacy

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy A situated view on Information Literacy Information Literacy Information Literacy Information Literacy What is Information Literacy?

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy A situated view on Information Literacy To solve this issue, we need: -A continuing epistemological discussion -A multitude of empirical examples

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy The use of participatory media within learning environments 2 cases (from higher education): -Twitter -PING PONG

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy PING PONG

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Twitter

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy The use of participatory media within learning environments Analytical tools: -A socio-cultural perspective -New literacy (NL)

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy New Literacy Lankshear & Knobel (eg. 2003, 2007): -New technology -New ethos

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Two reasons to talk about New Literacy -NL is useful in connecting the ”new” participatory media with the world of education and schooling (“literacies”) -The concept is also useful in connecting use of participatory media with socio-cultural theory, and placing this use in the context of literacy and IL

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Three general criteria for analysis of NL -Collective participation -Collaboration -Distributed intelligence and expertise

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy PING PONG -Collective participation -Through discussion forum, a chat-tool and a service called “Instant Messaging”. -Collaboration -To a certain degree (no collaborative editing, no real- time collaboration) -Distributed intelligence and expertise -”Ask a question”, forum, chat-tool, IM.

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Twitter -Collective participation -Includes a social networking feature (Followers). -Collaboration -Facilitates communication (Retweets, hashtags). -Distributed intelligence and expertise -Barack Obama is followed by almost 6 million users.

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Findings -Both services provide both old and new technology, but only Twitter express the new ethos of NL. -The criteria for analysis of NL are used to link central socio- cultural concepts to the use of participatory media in learning environments: -Socially distributed cognition (cf. distributed intelligence and expertise) -Zone of Proximal Development (cf. collaboration) -Unintentional mediation

I / / Fredrik Hanell: A Situated View on Information Literacy Conclusions -In connecting the classic work of L.S. Vygotsky to new, participatory media through the concept of NL a deeper understanding of the interaction between learner, participatory media and context is gained. -The theoretical construct of NL serves as a bridge between ”new” participatory media and the world of education and schooling (“literacies”). -Contributes to a continuing theoretical discussion of IL in a socio-cultural perspective.
