There are two ways to assign an Information Literacy Module in your course:

(1)  If you are using Canvas, you can use the “Add Assignment” option in your course. This will SYNC module scores to your Canvas grade book. Instructions for the ‘Add Assignment option are available at Online @UCF

—OR—

(2)  You can go to the Obojobo repository and create an instance (copy) of a module to use. Creating an instance from the repository requires that you share the module’s unique URL with your students — and does NOT SYNC SCORES to your Canvas grade book.  Scores will be stored in the repository where you can download them in an Excel file. Instructions for creating module instances are available in our Quick Start Guide and are also included below.

• Log in to the Obojobo repository, click the “Community Library” at the top of the window and select a module in the left column.
• Click “Publish Instance” at the top of the panel.
• Next, complete the required information for your module instance, (course name, start and end times/dates when it will be available to students, the number of attempts students will have for the module assessment, and whether you allow students to import previous module scores.
• Select “Publish” at the bottom of the panel to finish creating the module instance.
• Note: You will need to copy the URL provided next to the Instance Link label. This is the URL that is distributed to students to access your copy of the module. Each module instance you create is automatically placed under the “Published Instances” tab, if you need to modify dates, etc.

The Information Literacy Modules are located in the Obojobo repository https://obojobo.ucf.edu/repository

Yes. You may refer your students to our ‘generic’ set of modules http://infolit.ucf.edu/students/modules  Using the generic modules does not require any set up for your students, but you will be unable to see or collect module scores even if you decide that you want to later.

No. Canvas is not required to assign the Information Literacy Modules. However, if you do use Canvas, you may integrate the modules using the ‘Add Assignment’ option. The Information Literacy Modules are designed to be used in any UCF course – both online and face-to-face courses.
