The Research Skills Mini Course modules address common requests for library support on various topics,
including plagiarism, evaluating online sources, and citation styles.
Faculty who would like to use the modules with their students can choose one of two ways:
Import the desired module(s) from Canvas Commons into their course shell. Faculty will grade quizzes and assignments. |
OR |
Refer students to self-enroll in the Research Skills Mini Course and complete the desired module(s). Librarians will grade quizzes and assignments. |
Faculty can import the Research Skills Mini Course modules directly into their course shells. The modules are designed to be mix-and-match. Use one, two, or all of the modules as you see fit. Watch the video below to learn how to find the modules in Canvas Commons.
Faculty can also direct students to enroll themselves in the Research Skills Mini Course and complete the desired module(s). Librarians will grade all quizzes and assignments within the module. Students then communicate their grades, typically via a screenshot, to their professor.
Please see below for detailed instructions, plus an infographic to illustrate the process.
