Online Instruction Menu

Librarians can work with you to incorporate library and information literacy instruction directly into your Canvas course. The three primary types of online involvement include embedding library learning objects in online classes, creating custom course guides, and participating in Canvas discussion forums.

We are flexible with these services and can be involved as much, or as little, as you would like. Please fill out the instruction request form or contact us with questions.

Course Guides

Librarians can create a customized research guide for your course that organizes relevant resources in one location. It can be added to Canvas for quick student access.

This option is appropriate for online, blended, and face-to-face courses.

Canvas Discussion Forums (Embedded Librarian)

A librarian can join your Canvas course and participate in one or more discussion forums. There are two common forum types:

  • Ask a Librarian: An optional forum for students to post questions about research and library use. Questions often focus on database selection, keyword choices, and citations. Students can benefit from seeing their classmates’ questions and the librarian’s answers.
  • Research Module: A forum more integrated into the course where students are required to participate in order to develop their research skills. Common topics of discussion include developing a research strategy, finding peer-reviewed articles, and evaluating information on the internet.

In all Canvas Librarian setups, the librarian will monitor the forum(s) and respond to questions and provide feedback. Librarians are flexible and can be involved as much or as little as you would like. In Canvas, librarians can add content and contribute to discussions but cannot delete content or view class lists or grades.

This option is appropriate for online, blended, and face-to-face courses.
