Techniques For Enhancing Reflection And Learning In An Online Course, Nancy O'Hanlon, Karen R. Diaz

University Libraries Faculty Scholarship

The authors designed new content for an online research skills course, to provide instruction and expert modeling of the process for determining bias when evaluating information sources.

Instruction was followed by an online quiz that provided practice in applying the MAPit strategy. Metacognitive prompts within …
