CO150 - College Composition

Tutorial Information

The Libraries has developed a new, comprehensive online tutorial to support library instruction for CO150. This tutorial covers article types, constructing a search, searching the library databases, and citing articles. This tutorial will replace face-to-face instruction starting in Fall 2022.

This is an image of the homepage of the tutorial.

If students successfully complete the tutorial (80% accuracy), they will automatically receive a certificate of completion that they can download as a PDF. 

Importing the NEW Library Module into Your Canvas Course

The CO150 library tutorial has been split into two parts for Spring 2023 to address grading issues experienced in the Fall 2022 pilot. In Canvas, the tutorial is now packaged as a module containing two parts: the tutorial walkthrough and a Canvas quiz.

Instructions

  1. Go to the Canvas course homepage for which you'd like to import the module. *
  2. In the right-side instructor's menu, click on "Import from Commons." *
  3. Search for “CO150 Library Research” in the Commons interface. You should find one option created by Renae Watson.
  4. Select the “CO150 Library Research – Tutorial & Quiz” module.
  5. On the page for the module, click on the blue “Import/Download” button.
  6. Select the appropriate course in the pop-up side menu, and then click “Import into Course.”
  7. You should now see the module in your course, containing two pieces: the tutorial (within a Canvas page) and the library module quiz. You can now move these pieces into an appropriate weekly or topic module, whatever fits best within your course.
  8. If you move the tutorial and quiz pieces out of the “CO150 Library Research – Tutorial & Quiz” module, you can delete the empty module. Click on the three dots on the right side of this module title and click on “Delete” in the drop-down menu that appears.

*Please follow steps 1 & 2 exactly to ensure the quiz imports correctly.

Need Help?

If you would like help with adding or removing the library module in your course(s), please contact Heather Moon, Student Success Librarian.

You can add a librarian to your course using the Designer-New Quizzes role in Canvas. Adding folks as Designers allows them to assist with editing course modules/materials, but ensures they cannot view class discussions or grades.

Removing the Old Library Tutorial Assignment from Your Canvas Course

  1. Go to your CO150 course in Canvas and then go to Assignments in the course menu.
  2. Look for “CO150 – Getting Started with Library Research” in the list of assignments.
  3. Once you find the correct assignment block, click on the three dots on the right side. In the drop-down menu that appears, click on “Delete.”
  4. If Canvas asks you to confirm deletion, click “OK.”
