Online Learning Through Libguides For English Language Learners: A Case Study And Best Practices, Megan Hodge Jan 2019

Online Learning Through Libguides For English Language Learners: A Case Study And Best Practices, Megan Hodge

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

Many of the international students in the U.S. first experience American education through English language programs, so the cultural norms taught by these programs are vital to the academic success of these students: without them, students struggle to recognize plagiarism in their writing, find reliable sources, and more, resulting in lower grades and honor code sanctions including expulsion. Librarians are uniquely equipped to meet this instructional need. This chapter introduces best practices for making the most of these opportunities for significant impact via Springshare's LibGuides platform.

LibGuides can be created with links to specific open access resources, articles, and other items (as well as subscription resources) to support course assignments.

Georgia Library Quarterly

This discussion includes successful strategies for establishing connections and adopting LibGuides as communication tool for collaborative projects.
