Curriculum Development and the New Curriculum for Information Literacy

In this chapter, we relate the psychological ideas discussed thus far to the academic practice of course design and re-design. We discuss Secker and Coonan's (2013) New Curriculum for Information Literacy in that light. We find that there is much to commend in Secker and Coonan's work, and argue that detailed consideration of the psychological phenomena that we discussed above would enhance the practical application of the New Curriculum.
