Online instruction is available upon request. Librarians will also work with online faculty to create course assignments that incorporate information literacy and research skills. Librarians will also create assignment or topic specific materials or tutorials.
Technology used to create materials include applications such as Canvas, SoftChalk, Jing, Camtasia, Adobe Captivate, Microsoft Office Word, or Microsoft Office PowerPoint depending on what the instructor has in mind for their course.
Learning and instruction materials created for online courses are assessed in a variety of ways including quizzes, online surveys, assignments, and discussion boards.
The Library offers workshops for students on topics including library introduction and catalog searching, researching using online databases, resarching using Google, avoiding plagiarism and citing sources, Canvas overview and tips, and using student Google mail. For more info, see the Student Survival Series Research Guide at http://mesacc.libguides.com/sss.
The Library also offers workshops for faculty on using Library eResources and linking to online resources and content in their online course or LMS. We will be offering two of these workshops at the end of October in the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Research guides are created by librarians to provide research support for specific courses, specific assignments, and specific subjects.
Some research guides are created the help students and faculty with library services.
Below are a few examples. To browse all of our research guides, go here: http://mesacc.libguides.com/.
