Credo Information Literacy Tutorials: Faculty Guide

Important Credo Update

Pierce updated our Credo LTI in January of 2025. As a result of this update, the way we add Credo materials to Canvas has changed. 

There are now 2 different routes for adding content in Canvas:

If you added Credo content to your courses in the past, these links should continue to work for the time being.

Please add new resources, and update existing resources, following the instructions on this page. 

Adding Graded Content (Quizzes & Tests) to Canvas

Add all graded items (including quizzes) as assignments. Give assignment a name and then click "Add item."
Find and click on the assignment you just created.
The assignment screen display. Click "Edit."
In assignment settings page, specify the number of points in the points field. Credo's scoring assigns one point per question so quizzes are 5 and pre and post tests are 20. You may assign a different number of pojnts and the grade will scale (4/5 scales to 8/10). Display the grade as points.
in assignment settings page, click "External Tool" as the submission type. Then click the "Find" button.
Scroll through the menu until you see "Credo InfoLit." (Do not use any other tool with Credo in its name.) Click on the search icon (magnifying glass) next to Credo InfoLit.
A menu of Credo resources appears. Scroll to the one you wish to add and select it. Make sure the content you select says [Graded] after its name as you are adding a graded assignment.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Submit" button.
You are now back in the external tool list. Click the "Select" button to continue.
You are now back in the assignment settings page. If you want the Credo resource to open in a new tab, rather than be embedded within the page, check off the "Load this tool in a new tab" box. Click "Save and Publish" to publish assignment immediately or "Save" to publish later.
Your new assignment is now displayed. It will be embedded in the page or shown as a link to open in a new window depending on the setting you selected.
If you have questions, contact Marisa (diehlme@piercecollege.edu) or Lauren (saslowle@piercecollege.edu).

Adding Ungraded Content (Tutorials & Videos) to Canvas

Add item to module and select "External tool." All ungraded content (tutorials and videos) are added as "external tools."
Scroll through external tool menu until you see "Credo InfoLit." Do not use any other tool with Credo in its name. Click on the search icon (magnifying glass) next to Credo InfoLit.
Select the video or tutorial of your choice from the list. Make sure the content you select shows as [Not Graded] as you are adding an ungraded resource.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Submit" button.
Edit/update the "Page name" box and, if desired, check off the "load in a new tab" box. Then click the "Add Item" button.
You should see the item you added in your Module. Click the publish button when you are ready for students to view it.
If you have questions, contact Marisa (diehlme@piercecollege.edu) or Lauren (saslowle@piercecollege.edu).
