The library has created a new Online Instruction Tutorial to replace the former research skills MOOC.
Students who engage with the LROIT will develop and practice the information literacy and research skills necessary for success on their research assignments and future academic and personal endeavors.
This module-based tutorial is designed with scaffolding and metacognition in mind and can be tailored and used by faculty as needed. Our library team recommends that faculty assign each module as students are working on the corresponding component of the research process for point of need learning and support.
It may be helpful for tutors and academic support teams to know that students may be assigned various components of the LROIT depending on their faculty member's requirements.
You can access the modules using the links below. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Each module topic aligns with the Association of College & Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy Curriculum. For more information about information literacy at MWCC, please review our information literacy guide for faculty.
