Customized Learning Objects

Let Us Build You Something!

Looking for new ways to integrate library instruction?  Librarians can build you a customized video, guided database tour, worksheet, or learning object in Canvas (quiz, assignment, etc…) to meet the needs of your course or for a specific assignment.

Examples:

  • YouTube video about how to locate an editorial in the New York Times through the Global Newsstand database.
  • Guided Tour of the Small Business Database to find case studies and business plans.
  • YouTube video about how to research diseases using the Gale Health & Wellness database.
  • Canvas assignment with a video and quiz about evaluating websites.
