Abstract

Collaborative learning environments can utilize Web 2.0 tools for the purpose of teaching information literacy (IL) and information and communication technology (ICT) to college students. The California Maritime Academy (CMA) Library administered IL course is used in this paper to present a Web 2.0-based lesson unit. The authors designed a plan after conducting a demographic and stakeholder analysis of CMA and adhered to standards set forth by the ACRL as well as IL/ICT competency levels. The goals included the comprehension and utilization of wiki editing and website building in group-oriented projects, wherein a "Think Model" was used as a proctoring basis. A SWOT analysis was also conducted to ascertain future use of the unit and its viability to CMA.
