E. H. Butler Library, in conjunction with Instructional Design and Distance Learning, has developed asynchronous learning modules to assist students with library research strategies. Students have the option of completing these modules on their own, or faculty can assign them. All students and faculty have been enrolled in the “Butler Library Research Assistance Modules” organization in Brightspace. Badges and credits are available for each module so students can display their achievements in their Brightspace profile or use as proof of completion. To earn the badges, students will have to review all content in the module, watch tutorial videos, and answer quizzes at a passing rate. Currently the following Modules & Badges are available: 

• APA Modules Badge (15 Brightspace Credits) - APA Formatting & Citations
• Scholarly Sources Badge (10 Brightspace Credits) - Scholarly Articles, Peer-Review, and Popular Sources
• ALL-Search ALL-Star Badge (10 Brightspace Credits) - Introduction to Library Databases & ALL-Search
• MS Word & APA Badge (5 Brightspace Credits) - Using Microsoft Word to Format your APA Paper
• Literature Review Badge (10 Brightspace Credits) - Creating & Organizing a Literature Review

Modules can also be imported into your course shell. Please see the accompanying website that includes a short, informational video. Please contact Chris Hulsman, electronic & educational resources librarian if you have any questions or would like assistance getting access to the modules.
