Abstract: This study aimed to provide evidence to support the use of a wiki called PBworks as a learning tool to foster students' information literacy (IL) skills based on activity theory. The participants consisted of 421 students (i.e. form 1 to form 3) from Hong Kong taking a liberal studies course during the 2016–2017 academic year. This study mainly used a mixed methods design, proposing 11 hypotheses. Quantitative data from 374 questionnaires were analysed to test these research hypotheses, while a qualitative method (interviews) was used to explain the quantitative results. A structural equation modelling approach was used to analyse the data, and data triangulation was used to answer the same research questions. The results showed that the model components PBworks affordances (PB) and rules and isions (RD) had significant direct effects on in idual activities (IA) and community activities (CA) and significant indirect effects on information literacy (IL). The results also revealed that CA had a significant effect on IA and had an even greater effect on IL. Using PBworks and the project-based learning (PjBL) approach, this study examined the determinants affecting the IL skills of Hong Kong junior secondary school students and proposed a wiki-based information literary activity (WILA) model. As students' IL skills have become increasingly important, this study can shed light on related topics for future studies. And contribute to social stability and harmonious development. This study eventually confirmed the validity of the WILA model with all hypotheses supported. The peer review history for this article is available at: ublon/10.1108/OIR-03-2020-0092 .
