Library Workshops in Canvas
Library Workshops in Canvas
The Coastline Library offers online Library Workshops in Canvas. Currently, we have:
- Avoiding Plagiarism Workshop (1 hour)
- Advanced APA Citation Skills Workshop (1.5-2 hours)
- Advanced MLA Citation Skills Workshop (1.5-2 hours)
- Library Orientation Workshop (1 hour)
- Internet Searching Workshop (1 hour)
- Online Privacy and Security Workshop (1 hours)
Faculty can make the Library Workshop of their choice an assignment in their course. Students who complete a library workshop earn a Certificate of Completion PDF they can upload to the assignment in Canvas. It is suggested the assignment allow students to upload the certificate late (up to five days) so the library can get things scored if there is a rush =). The date the student completes the workshop is on their Certificate of Completion. Workshops close the Thursday before the final week of the semester at 11:55pm.
Here are some suggested assignment language and the self-enroll link for the workshops.BTW - the enrollment link stays the same so faculty can use this every semester. We (the library) change the link on the backend so it will direct to the new workshop each semester.
Library Workshop Directions (for students):
Please complete the INSERT Workshop Name
- Self-enroll for the Library Workshops.
- Follow the directions for the INSERT Workshop Name and complete all sections of that workshop with 80% or higher to earn a Certificate of Completion by your class deadline. Library Workshops close the Thursday before Finals at 11:55pm.
