E-Learning Resources: Canvas Modules and Courses

This guide shares some information about the variety of USU Libraries' e-learning resources.

Canvas Modules and Courses

The library has created Canvas modules and self-enroll courses to support instruction! These provide an easy way to integrate active learning into information literacy instruction. They can be used in a traditional face-to-face class, flipped classroom model, or as stand-alone assignments. The modules and courses encompass subjects like citing sources, research concepts, avoiding plagiarism, and much more.

Visit the library's E-Learning Resources page for a sample of the library's Canvas materials.

If you're interested in using or developing any of these materials, contact your library liaison team for assistance!
