Information Literacy Instruction
What we recommend: flipped classroom style
Students complete video tutorials housed in Blackboard to introduce critical thinking about information and basic research skills followed up with an Information Literacy Session for active learning exercises using relevant search terms and resources. (Due to Covid-19, all information literacy sessions are offered online.)
- Enroll your class in our Blackboard “course” to access Information Literacy Videos and Quizzes
