Fostering health information literacy through use of a virtual world

Next Tuesday (19 April 2011) I will be co-presenting Fostering health information literacy through use of a virtual world at the LILAC (information literacy) conference in London (UK), and the slides are embedded below. My co-presenter is Elisabeth Jacobsen Marrapodi, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, USA and the third author (who will not be at LILAC) is Rossana I. Barrios, Biblioteca Conrado F. Asenjo, University of Puerto Rico. This is the same presentation that all three of us gave in Second Life on Infolit iSchool on 13 April 2011. "The presentation identifies ways in which virtual worlds can be used to foster health information literacy, using the example of the virtual world, Second Life (SL). The presenters describe a project involving health quizzes on the web and in SL from a librarian based in the USA, a Spanish-language initiative in SL from a librarian in Puerto Rico, and a joint venture to create an installation about health information literacy."
