Resources for Facilitating Remote and Hybrid Classes
Subject librarians are available to help faculty with course modifications to accommodate remote instruction. We can identify and suggest alternate course or research materials that will be accessible to remote learners, and provide library instruction via Canvas, Zoom, or Panopto. Contact your subject librarian for more information.
Self-paced Library Learning Canvas Modules
The library developed three Canvas modules to strengthen students’ digital and information literacy skills. Adding one or more of these modules to your Canvas course provides students with an opportunity to improve their knowledge of the research process and build their understanding of the library’s print and online holdings.
After working through the modules, one Northwestern third-year student said, “I would want to encounter this kind of information when I'm working on research papers and projects throughout my undergrad career — I honestly wish I had known about them earlier because now I'm thinking about all the past papers I could have done so much better on had I known that this information was out there.”
Faculty can review the modules in Canvas Commons. You can import one or more of the modules to your Canvas course, or contact your subject librarian or Anne Zald for more customized instruction.
Course-specific Research Guides
Librarians with expertise in your subject can work with you to create a research guide highlighting key resources for your course or particular subject.
