Customized Research Guides
Librarians can design interactive online research guides that provide instruction through text, images, and video and offer options for formative and summative assessment. Guides can be accessed by your students anytime they need help. Check out an example from a recent Communications Media course.
Embedded Librarian
Will your distance students be working on a major research project? Consider having a librarian embedded within the D2L or Moodle course. The librarian can give instruction, link to resources, and answer questions within students' familiar class environment. Visit the Embedded Instruction tab for more information.
