SUU Festival of Excellence 2019

The instruction librarians at the Gerald R. Sherratt Library have developed a suite of information literacy modules to help prepare students for their research assignments and presentations. These modules, ranging from “Creating a good research question” to “Using the Library databases” and “How to evaluate sources” may be imported from Canvas Commons and integrated into your courses as a way of augmenting pre-existing research skills, or as a refresher for students still unfamiliar with basic research skills. These modules exist as stand-alone tools that can be used in tandem with live in-class librarian instruction (see https://library.suu.edu/ILCanvas-modules), and may be utilized effectively in a flipped classroom or research-intensive settings. Through use of these modules in your online course or in the classroom covering basic skills, the door may be opened for developing additional high-impact information literacy skills.
