Abstract
In 2021 the Norwegian government launched its “Strategy for digital transformation in higher education 2021–2025”, and in 2022 an Action plan was launched. The goal is a more digitally competent workforce. We share experiences from the University of Bergen Library, and the University Library at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. In Bergen, an online course for first year’s students teaches them to navigate critically in a world of facts, opinions and arguments, while UiT Library has developed iKomp. The main purpose of the course is to make students well equipped to meet the demands and expectations of universities and colleges regarding learning, academic integrity, and use of sources. We compare the two approaches through a qualitative cross case-comparison, investigating scope, learning goals and other relevant aspects, and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the courses, and we give recommendations for development of information literacy training.
