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.
