Research Instruction

Answer

The following Information Literacy tutorials are available as Canvas modules in their own course shells. 

• Research Fundamentals 
• Literature Research 
• Copyright & Intellectual Property 
• Plagiarism 

You can assign each tutorial and quiz by sharing its link with your students. Find each tutorial link here.

The tutorial module in each course includes three parts: 

• an introductory note explaining the tutorial and the quiz 
• a link to the tutorial on the Learning Commons website 
• the Canvas-embedded quiz 

Student access to tutorials

When students click the tutorial and quiz link, they will be directed to self-enroll in the tutorial’s Canvas course. Self-enrollment is a quick and intuitive process, but if needed, you can provide students with instructions in several ways: 

• Direct them to the Library FAQ entry (https://dccc.libanswers.com/research-instruction/faq/374234)  
• In the Canvas Commons, find and import the module titled “Library Services: Tutorial Self-Enrollment Instructions.” Read more about importing this module.
• Provide them with the pdf at the bottom of this screen. 

Badges

Students who pass quizzes for the above tutorials will be awarded digital badges, which they will be able to access and submit in Canvas. A passing grade for these quizzes is 70%.

Badges can be submitted in the form of a unique link to a Badgr page verifying the students’ badge. Students can also generate a print or PDF a certificate.

If you assign a tutorial your students will be responsible for submitting their badges in your course.

Instructions for students on accessing and submitting their badges are on our FAQ page.
