Brightspace Information Literacy Modules

University of Akron librarians have been busy developing Brightspace content to teach information literacy, research skills, and lifelong learning skills that students can transfer to other courses and apply beyond the University. These online lessons via Brightspace can be assigned in part or whole by course instructors or enterprising students can self-enroll. Students will get a certificate of completion for each following a brief assessment. The URLs give you direct access to enroll in the course. You can share these URLs with students in your courses.

We currently have several courses available for Brightspace enrollment:
