Fall Semester 2013

As we begin the fall semester, we have news and reminders to share about the Information Literacy Modules. First, we want to thank you for using the modules in your courses. We appreciate your support!

Second, we have great news. Module scores will now sync with Canvas! This means that you now have two ways to assign an Information Literacy Module:

(1) Through Canvas where you will ‘Add an Assignment.’ This process will SYNC SCORES to your Canvas grade book.
Instructions are located here http://onlinesupport.cdl.ucf.edu/obojobo/using-obojobo-in-webcoursesucf/

—OR—

(2) Through the repository (http://obojobo.ucf.edu/repository), where you will create an instance and copy and paste the unique URL into a document/page to share with your students. Creating an instance in the repository will NOT SYNC SCORES to your Canvas grade book. Scores will be available in the repository where you can download them. Instructions for creating an instance are located here http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/quickstart/view-all/

Reminders:

• Each semester, you will need to create new instances of modules OR new assignments of modules within Canvas.
• Upon completion of a module, students will receive an email confirmation of their score. Email confirmations are sent using Knights email.

If you have questions about assigning modules, you may consult the Information Literacy FAQ http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/faq/ or email us infolit@ucf.edu

Digital Badges (Retired Fall 2020):

Starting August 19, as part of a UCF pilot project, students will earn a digital badge when they score 80% or higher on a module assessment. An email will automatically be sent to the student acknowledging their accomplishment and providing a link to claim their badge. This is a completely automated process and is not intended to interfere with your course-level implementation of the Information Literacy Modules. Please see our Badges page for more information or email us if you have questions about the badges pilot Infolit@ucf.edu

Now Available:

Amy Foster, UCF History department faculty member, is creating a new version of the Avoiding Plagiarism module. The new module, Avoiding Plagiarism Using Chicago Manual of Style, 16^th Edition will be available in the fall semester.

Have a great semester!
