-
Despite continued attention from academic librarians, many college students lack essential information literacy (IL) skills required for academic success. New approaches to IL instruction recognize the traditional “one-shot” is not a sufficient strategy. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative Action Research study that investigated how the availability of asynchronous learning modules in Canvas impacts IL learning among community college students. Results indicate that leveraging the existing technology of the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) is a pragmatic and effective approach to extending IL learning beyond the “one-shot,” and that it facilitates the embedding of IL learning that may contribute to student success.
