The Modules are here!

The wait is over! The Information Literacy Modules are here! We are excited to launch the first four Information Literacy Modules for immediate use in your courses.

We have established two options in which you can begin utilizing these modules to best suit your course.

Option 1: You may simply refer your students to a generic set of modules by providing your students with this URL Link http://infolit.ucf.edu/student/modules. This option will not allow you to access your students’ scores. This option should be used when you want your students to learn the material, but do not necessarily need to record their scores or know whether they have attempted the modules.

Option 2: You may create a specific version, or “instance” of a module that will have a unique URL that is specific to your course. This will create a unique URL for you to provide your students access. Through this method, you are able to view scores, upload them into WebCT (not required), and use these modules as scored assignments or extra credit. With this method you are able to access all the data and activity associated with your instance of the module.

To begin Option 2, please visit Getting Started for further instructions.

Additional modules are continuously being created. Should you have any ideas or suggestions for future module topics, please visit the Feedback Form and send us your thoughts!
