For faculty: Welcome to the assignment toolkit for Communications! Please follow the links below to the library’s information literacy modules. These are available for you to embed into your course pages as weekly assignments (or however you best see fit!) to help your students build their library and research skills. The modules are designed to meet the toolkit competencies. If you require assistance using the toolkit please feel free to reach out to the toolkit librarian, Sharell Walker at shwalker@bmcc.cuny.edu.
Note: All quizzes and online activities are self graded. Students receive the results upon completion of the quiz or activity; the results can be emailed or posted in Blackboard.
