1 Define your learning outcomes

Before you create any assessment, you need to identify what you want your users to learn and how you will measure their learning. Learning outcomes are statements that describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that your users should demonstrate after completing your information literacy instruction. They should be clear, specific, and aligned with your curriculum or program goals. You should also consider how your learning outcomes reflect the values and expectations of your discipline, institution, and community, and how they may affect or exclude certain groups of users.

Before constructing assessments, defining learning outcomes is paramount. These outcomes articulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes users should exhibit post-instruction, ensuring clarity, specificity, and alignment with curriculum objectives. It's vital to consider how outcomes reflect disciplinary, institutional, and community values, acknowledging potential impacts on diverse user groups. By establishing clear learning outcomes, educators can effectively gauge the success of their information literacy instruction, ensuring that learners acquire the necessary competencies to thrive in their academic and professional pursuits.

2 Choose your assessment methods

There are many ways to assess information literacy, such as quizzes, essays, portfolios, presentations, or self-reports. However, not all methods are suitable for every situation or user. You should choose your assessment methods based on your learning outcomes, your instructional mode (online, face-to-face, or hybrid), your available resources (time, technology, staff), and your user characteristics (background, language, culture, ability, motivation). You should also avoid relying on a single method or format, and provide multiple and varied opportunities for your users to demonstrate their learning.

3 Design your assessment tasks

Once you have chosen your assessment methods, you need to design your assessment tasks that will elicit the evidence of your users' learning. You should make sure that your assessment tasks are relevant, authentic, and meaningful for your users, and that they match the level and complexity of your learning outcomes. You should also ensure that your assessment tasks are clear, consistent, and accessible for your users, and that they avoid unnecessary barriers or biases that may affect their performance or confidence.

4 Provide feedback and support

Feedback and support are essential components of any information literacy assessment, as they help your users improve their learning and develop their self-regulation skills. You should provide feedback and support that are timely, constructive, and actionable for your users, and that address their strengths and areas for improvement. You should also encourage your users to seek and use feedback and support from various sources, such as peers, instructors, librarians, or online resources.

5 Evaluate and improve your assessment

Finally, you should evaluate and improve your information literacy assessment based on the results and feedback from your users and stakeholders. You should collect and analyze data on the validity, reliability, fairness, and impact of your assessment, and identify any strengths and weaknesses. You should also solicit and incorporate feedback and suggestions from your users and stakeholders on their satisfaction, engagement, and learning outcomes. You should then use this information to revise and refine your assessment for future iterations.
