The amount and range of information available to todays studentsand indeed to all learnersis unprecedented. Phrases like the information revolution, the information (or knowledge) society, and the knowledge economy underscore the truism that our society has been transformed by virtually instantaneous access to virtually unlimited information. Thomas Friedman tells us that The World Is Flat and that we must devise new political and economic understandings based on the ceaseless communication of information from all corners of the world. The Bush administration tells us that information relating to the war on terrorism is so critical that we must allow new kinds of surveillance to keep society safe. Teenage subscribers to social-computing networks not only access information but enter text and video images and publish them widelybecoming the first adolescents in history to be creators as well as consumers of vast quantities of information.
If the characteristics of the information age demand new conceptions of commerce, national security, and publishingamong other thingsit is logical to assume that they carry implications for education as well. In fact, a good deal has been written over the last several decades about how education as a whole must transform its structure and curriculum to accommodate the possibilities offered by new technologies. Far less has been written, however, about how the specific affordances of these technologiesand the kinds of information they allow students to access and createrelate to the central purpose of education: learning. What does learning mean in an information-rich environment? What are its characteristics? What kinds of tasks should it involve? What concepts, strategies, attitudes, and skills do educators and students need to master if they are to learn effectively and efficiently in such an environment? How can researchers, theorists, and practitioners foster the well-founded and widespread development of such key elements of the learning process?
This book explores these questions and suggests some tentative answers. Drawing from research and theory in three distinct but related fieldslearning theory, instructional systems design, and information studiesit presents a way to think about learning that responds directly to the actualities of a world brimming with information. The book is grounded in the work of such key figures in learning theory as Bransford and Anderson & Krathwohl. It draws on such theorists of instructional design as Gagne, Mayer, and Merrill. From information studies, it uses ideas from Buckland, Marchionini, and Wilson (who is known for his pioneering work in information behaviorthat is, the full range of information seeking and use). The book breaks new ground in bringing together ideas that have run in parallel for years but whose relationship has not been fully explored.

Learning in Information-Rich Environments
I-LEARN and the Construction of Knowledge in the 21st Century
Delia Neuman
Human beings are bombarded with information at all times not just electronically, but through our senses and experiences, affecting how we seek, process, and create information. From this limitless complexity comes an important question: how can we learn and teach more effectively in our information-generating world?
Grounded in seminal ideas in learning theory, instructional systems design, and information studies, Learning in Information-Rich Environments brings together ideas that have run in parallel for years but whose relationship has not been explored in full until now, expanding on familiar and contemporary concepts of learning to include our interactivity with everyday situations and stimuli. This comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis links traditional theories to emerging ideas in learning by:
- Demonstrating that information is the basic unit of learning, critical thinking, and problem solving.
- Defining information-rich environments and the range of information formats including print, audio, video, and others that comprise them.
- Extending these concepts to the Internet/World Wide Web and the current spectrum of information and communication technologies used for learning.
- Exploring the 21st-century skills and strategies needed to capitalize on learning opportunities in contemporary information environments.
- Setting out the non-linear I-LEARN model of gaining and using knowledge in formal and informal information-rich environments.
- Discussing how I-LEARN can be used in the assessment of learning, and in the design of assessment tools.
Its skillful blend of elegant concepts and real-world evidence makes Learning in Information-Rich Environments a must-read title for graduate students and educators in educational theory, instructional design, and information science.
