This is a very impotant distinction that we absolutley have to get right, and one that I have been wrestling with since my journey from a framework of information literacy skills to a framework of inquiry skills first began.

At the level of definition (see Glossary), inquiry is an approach to learning, and by extension teaching, that aims at students increasing their understanding.

By contrast, information literacy appears to be central to a number of literacies, such as digital literacy, that enable inquiry.

I’m looking forward to this disussion unfolding.
