Metaliteracy is a holistic model that emphasises information-related knowledge attainment whilst challenging individuals to take charge of their learning strategies and goals. It prepares learners to become informed consumers and responsible producers of information. Metacognition is a core concept in metaliteracy, just as it is in swelf-directed learning (SDL) and in methods of assessment appropriate to SDL, such as assessment as learning (AaL) and assessment for learning (AfL). This congruence provides clear avenues for using metaliteracy’s framework in ways that support SDL. The first part of the chapter explores metaliteracy and its connections with SDL and assessment. The remainder of …

Metaliteracy is an essential literacy for today’s complex and oftentimes deceptive information environment. The origins of the metaliteracy model emerged in response to revolutionary changes in a connected world and the need to reconceptualize information literacy for a broader impact on learning. The theory of metaliteracy involves the intersection of core components that include learner domains, active learner roles, characteristics or qualities, and associated goals and learning objectives. This model is applied when individuals engage with and reflect upon these components to realize their active responsibilities as participants in social settings. This paper describes several examples of how metaliteracy is …

Metaliteracy, originally developed in 2010 as a response to a then-limited conception of information literacy, provides a pedagogical model for thinking and knowing in a social media age that has allowed for the proliferation of false and misleading information. It is vital that individuals be thoughtful and critical consumers of information, and also responsible and ethical information creators and sharers. Metaliterate learners are developed across academic disciplines through teaching and learning that support self-direction, collaboration, participation, and metacognitive thinking. The creation of innovative, collaborative, and open online learning environments that apply the metaliteracy goals and learning objectives is imperative for …
