Library and study skills using hypertext: the TILT experience

Linda Creanor, Helen Durndell, Carol Primrose · New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia · 1996

When the Glasgow University Teaching with Independent Learning Technologies (TILT) project began in January 1993, its main aim was to demonstrate how IT could be successfully incorporated into university teaching within a single institution. Now almost four years on, TILT has demonstrated its value in many areas and one topic which has shown itself to have wider implications is that of library and study skills. More than 130 institutions both in the UK and overseas are now using the 5 hypertext information skills modules as a resource in their undergraduate teaching, and detailed evaluations of their effectiveness have been carried out. This paper reflects on the development and evaluation of the courseware and details its transformation from Guide through Toolbook to World Wide Web.
