Implementing the Information Literacy Tutorial in Your First Year Seminar

Practical advice and how-to information for incorporating the information literacy tutorial, The Lion's Guide To Research And The Library, in your first year seminar course.

Tutorial & Grade Duplicates

To avoid creating unnecessary (and confusing) duplicates of the FYS Information Literacy Tutorials in your Brightspace course and gradebook, please use the “Select Components” option instead of the “Copy All Components” option under the “Import/Export/Copy Components” menu. 

Below are “how to do” tutorials to follow and avoid this mistake. Please review this material, available both as a video and written instructions before copying content from your previous FYS course to your new course version on Brightspace.  

  1. Video - How to: Course Copy without the Library Tutorials 
  2. Word Doc with Step-by-Step instructions – Couse Copy without the Library Tutorials 

Please review the following video for instructions on how to properly delete the duplicate modules and/or reach out to Darlene for troubleshooting.
