Welcome! In the Information Age, career and life-long learning are increasingly dependent on information-retrieval (IR) skills in order to utilize digital and on-line information effectively. However, integration of IR into undergraduate curricula has not kept up with this demand. This curriculum development project, supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. IIS-0534403, is creating a module-based curricular model, which facilitates the development of an array of IR modules that enable flexible adoption and integration. These modules, including general IR modules mainly designed for IT/CS programs, and discipline-oriented IR modules based on specific disciplines such as Biology and Psychology, can be adopted based on the specific needs of different universities and programs.

Currently this project ( Interactive Flash on Project Introduction ) is conducted in the Department of Information Technology, Armstrong Atlantic State University, which is located in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia.
