Research and Technology Instruction for Classes

LITS Liasions are eager to support the research and technology needs of your courses. We will tailor an instruction session to meet learning goals specific to your course. Topics we may address include (but certainly are not limited to) the following:

• critical evaluation of web sources
• designing and creating web pages
• locating scholarly materials
• incorporating online peer-editing and collaborative writing tools
• examining the history of the printed word, perhaps including close review of rare book and special collection materials
• developing effective search strategies
• identifying and working with primary sources
• creating podcasts and/or using RSS to monitor news sources
• multimedia narrative/digital storytelling
• data work in Excel or SPSS

If you are still in the formative stages of building an assignment, all the better! We will happily sit down and talk through possible approaches. Please fill out the following form and we will be in touch shortly. As a guidepost, we advise 2 weeks notice for effective planning.
