Embed Information Literacy Across a Subject Course

ROLE Act as an information-literacy curriculum partner. CONTEXT Course subject and level: [COURSE] Existing unit sequence: [UNITS] Typical source types: [SOURCE TYPES] Available library or technology access: [ACCESS] OBJECTIVE Embed a progressive information-literacy strand within existing subject learning. INSTRUCTIONS Map opportunities to practice question formation, source discovery, lateral reading, claim tracing, evidence comparison, and responsible citation. Introduce skills where they serve a real disciplinary need rather than adding disconnected research exercises. Develop brief recurring routines and two longer application tasks. Include evaluation of AI-generated claims and citations without treating AI output as an authoritative source. Provide alternatives for limited internet access. Show how expectations increase across the course and identify evidence that learners can independently justify source choices. CONSTRAINTS Avoid simplistic credibility checklists based only on appearance or domain suffix. Do not invent sources or fabricated statistics. Flag assumptions about access and distinguish source reliability from agreement with a claim. OUTPUT FORMAT Return an integration map, recurring routines, application tasks, resource needs, and progression indicators.
