It’s that time again!  We hope you had a good summer break, and as we start the fall 2014 semester we want to ‘thank you’ for your continued support of the Information Literacy Modules.

As you may know, the ‘Infolit Modules’ have been identified as one of the activities that meet the “Recording Academic Activity for Fall 2014 Courses” related to new financial aid requirements. For the details about this process, please see the Center for Distributed Learning site at http://teach.ucf.edu/resources/financialaid/

To help those who are new to the Infolit Modules and as a refresher to those who have used the modules previously, we wanted to provide a few tips for assigning modules for the fall semester:

There are two ways you can assign an Information Literacy Module:

• Through Canvas where you will use ‘Add an Assignment.’ This process will SYNC SCORES to your Canvas grade book. Instructions for adding a module assignment are located at http://onlinesupport.cdl.ucf.edu/obojobo/using-obojobo-in-webcoursesucf/

• 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 send to your students. Creating an instance in the repository will NOT SYNC SCORES to your Canvas grade book. Scores will be in the repository where you can download them. Instructions for creating an instance are located at http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/quickstart/view-all/If you are using the repository, we recommend making a new instance for each course since scores are permanently associated with a specific instance (or Assignment, if using Canvas). Having multiple courses use the same instance will result in all student data appearing together. Each instance will create a unique URL and instance ID number that you can send to students for each course. When sending an instance URL to students, you may also want to provide the link to log-in information. Information about logging in to the modules is available for students at http://infolit.ucf.edu/students/help/#article457

Whether you use Canvas or the repository option, you may also want to provide tech support information to students. Tech support for students and faculty is available through the Ask A Librarian service at http://library.ucf.edu/Ask/  Please encourage students to contact the Ask A Librarian service via phone, email, text, or chat if they encounter problems with module content, technology, or access. You might also want to provide students with the link to our Frequently Asked Questions located on the Infolit website at http://infolit.ucf.edu/students/help/

If you have questions or comments, please email Corinne.Bishop@ucf.edu or via the Infolit email at infolit@ucf.edu

Have a great start to the fall semester!
