“…The training contents focus on the Information dimension, and according to the keywords of the articles, the most repeated term is "Information Literacy" (Figure 7). McClellan, 2016). The World Health Organization has sued governments and health institutions to require them to take the necessary steps to ensure that health professionals have the necessary skills to interact in a technology-based globalized world (WHO, 2019).…”

Digital competencies are one of the main transversal competencies of the XXI century. By means of systematic mapping, international published papers and research on digital skills training were critically evaluated, generating a process that helps us to recognize information about health professionals and the type of educational technology used in training. With this in mind, we employed the systematic mapping method using the WoS and Scopus databases between 2015 and 2019 in English and Spanish, specifically focused on research articles. The five competencies of the European Framework of Digital Competence were used to analyze the articles, and the works were classified according to the educational technology used. Inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria were applied. Two hundred and forty-eight articles were selected for the study. Most focused on the information literacy dimension (168) and used digital educational technology. In total, 27 papers were concerned with competence in communication, 19 with safety, and 12 with problem-solving. Only 8% of the papers were conducted in the context of health institutions, and 68% were based in an academic context. Articles related to the social field were found that dealt with aspects directly linked to health and safety. The publications on digital competencies used in the field of health mostly addressed the dimension of information competence, with a focus on the design and implementation of training activities in the management of information sources, instructional standards, curriculum design, and the competencies of the health librarian as an instructor.

“…Initial discussions concerning the creation of the learning modules highlighted the need for seamlessly embedding these into courses without them appearing as generic content add-ons, which can often be challenging (Becker, 2014). The challenges around combining an e-learning approach with discipline-embedded resources and breaking down the barriers, continue to be discussed in the literature (McClellan, 2016;Wingate & Dreiss, 2009). To successfully achieve such seamless embedding of information literacy modules, it was necessary to use the same interface and design established for the rest of the course LMS and for the module to be purposely built for the specific assignment task.…”

This paper builds on previous research that evaluated the impact of an embedded online academic and information literacy module into the learning management system (LMS) of a first-year university business course. The research findings concluded that the resource contributed to student success and helped to demonstrate the value of the library at Griffith University to the wider community. Since the original module was embedded into the LMS for a single course in 2014, the provision of these bespoke online modules has expanded. Data has been gathered over the years from 2014 to 2017 on unique users and page views of the modules. Usage has exploded from 4442 page visits by 910 unique users in one course in 2014, to 271,556 page visits by 12,456 unique users in 45 different courses in 2017. Whilst the learning analytics support the continued and increased provision of these resources, other issues around sustainability have arisen and need to be addressed. The aim of this paper is to examine how the use of an e-learning model can help address issues of sustainability that arise as part of supporting an online approach to academic and information literacy support.

“…After Wikipedia was built, scholars, librarians and students have been its most common users (Okoli, Mehdi, Mesgari, Nielsen, & Lanamäki, 2014). Wikipedia has frequently been incorporated into one-shot Information Literacy classes or embedded in the curriculum with other social media platforms to help students develop critical thinking skills and enhance their awareness of assessing and evaluating the quality of information (Calhoun, 2014;Kim, Si, & Yoo-Lee, 2014;McClellan, 2016). If I still looked at Wikipedia expecting authoritative governance, assertive fixity, and absolute specificity as with traditional (print or electronic) encyclopedias, it would be unrealistic to expect that of a transparent, collaborative, looselyorganized, and bottom-up information and knowledge base that aims at playing a significant part in constructing an open and shared global society.…”
