Canvas and the Library

Overview

These Canvas-based tutorials are designed specifically for Pierce students. Each module includes readings, an ungraded practice activity, and a graded quiz. 

The modules/topics included are:

• What is Research?

• Getting Started with Research
• OneSearch Basics
• Evaluating and Selecting Sources 
• Fact-check: Understanding Misinformation and Disinformation
• Avoiding Plagiarism & Citing Sources

You are now able to import these directly into your Canvas courses from Commons. (See the instructions below.)

If you would prefer not to import the content, you may ask students to self-enroll in the class and complete the modules you assign. They will receive a PDF certificate of completion via email for each module they successfully complete from the stand alone course.

The Library's Information Literacy modules have been added to Canvas Commons.

To import  these modules to your own course follow the instructions below:

• Open Canvas Commons from the main Canvas navigation bar
• Search Commons for Pierce Information Literacy Tutorials
