E-Learning Resources Instructions: Canvas Tutorials

Canvas tutorials provide an easy way to integrate active learning into information literacy instruction. These tutorials can be used in a traditional face-to-face class, flipped classroom model, or as stand-alone assignments.

If you are interested in using any of these tutorials, contact your liaison librarian for assistance with importing tutorials into your Canvas course. You can also download and import the tutorials yourself.

Some of the tutorials have discrete sections that can be used independently of the full tutorial. Here is a listing of some of the library's Canvas tutorials we offer: https://usu.instructure.com/courses/45089
