The Moodle Information Literacy Project is an experimental course shell where we provide portable, 3-hour modules of information literacy instruction. The goal of this project is to create a space for faculty to quickly obtain short lessons that meet General Education student learning outcomes (SLOs) in the areas of information literacy and critical thinking. Each lesson includes approximately one hour of in-class activity and two hours of asynchronous or take-home material for students.Questions/Comments: Felicia Palsson (4-2951) or firstname.lastname@example.org.
There are lots of cool ways to utilize library information resources within your own Moodle courses. Many of these same techniques work even if you don't use Moodle!
Examples include step-by-step instructions for embedding the resource within your course web page.
