Shortlisted recently as one of 15 good practice examples designed to enhance information literacy skills MANTRA has been upgraded to Version 2 of Xerte Online Toolkits, the e-learning development environment used to create the MANTRA learning materials. This allows delivery of the MANTRA units to a much wider range of devices using HTML5 rather than Flash.

The new MANTRA also highlights the utility of the learning materials for 4 discreet personas:

  • Research student
  • Career researcher
  • Senior academic
  • Information professional
