This entry relates to the Subtopic activity.

Library World is an introduction to using information at university. The Library interviewed over 40 Flinders academics and students to share their experience and expertise in finding information. From these interviews, we made 11 videos to give students a good foundation in what is quality and credible information at university, how to follow the scholarly conversation, what tools to use in research, and where to go for help. 

You will need to ask your eLearning support team to add the subtopic on your behalf.

Can I use it as an assessment item in my topic? 

Yes. The assessment in Library World takes the form of reflective questions. Before viewing any of the videos, students are asked three quick questions about their current information seeking practices. After working through Library World, students are asked the same questions so they can reflect on what they have learned and what they will now do differently to find information at university. 

You can add Library World to your topic as a subtopic and use as either an assessment item or a resource. 

Can I use it as a resource that is not assessed?

Yes. Let your eLearning support team know that you want Library World added as a resource only. To get grades for Library World you need to click the  button (once you have clicked on the Library World subtopic link). The weighting in the Gradebook is defaulted to 0.
