Abstract

Creating successful learning environments depends on many factors. When developing “InfoSkills”, Bournemouth University’s Web‐based library tutorial, the aim was to create not only a generic, pedagogically sound product based on the post‐induction needs of our students, but one which also provided an added‐value package to link with, and work alongside, established practices and products. Consolidating the information skills learning experience and bringing into a more flexible environment worked to the students’ and our own advantage. We now have a product that successfully underpins the library’s and university’s learning and teaching aims, but one which can easily be extended and modified for usage for similar institutions.
