About the Author
Geoff Walton is Subject and Learning Support Librarian and Research Informed Teaching (RiT) Project Co-ordinator at Staffordshire University. His specific subject responsibilities are for Psychology and Sport & Exercise Science. As RiT Co-ordinator Geoff is involved in identifying synergies between research, teaching, learning, information literacy, e-learning and inquiry-based learning. He recently completed a PhD which analysed the development of a blended approach (a mix of face-to-face and online pedagogical methods) to delivering information literacy to first-year undergraduates. He is particularly interested in the cognitive processes involved in becoming information literate. Geoff has spoken at many conferences on these topics. Geoff has a number of current research interests including developing the Assignment Survival Kit (ASK) and investigating academic skills needs in undergraduate students. Alison Pope was a Learning and Teaching Fellow at Staffordshire University from 2005 to 2009. Her research in this period focused on the importance of adopting a strategic approach to information literacy in the HE context. She especially focused on the need to embed information literacy within the curriculum. Alison has spoken at many high profile conferences on this topic and has also published widely. She is Senior Subject and Learning Support Librarian at Staffordshire University with specific responsibility for the Schools of Law and Business. Alison leads the team at Staffordshire responsible for the development of the Assignment Survival Kit (ASK) and is currently engaged in empirical research to develop further the ASK software in a Web 2.0 environment.
