Use a CSUDH Library tutorial as a graded assignment or extra credit!
How it works:
1. Add a link to the tutorial and assignment in Blackboard or your syllabus.
2. Provide a due date and a brief explanation for how the assigned tutorial fits into your course.
Example: You will need to find and use at least two scholarly articles for your upcoming assignment. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to access materials through the library in OneSearch.
3. Once students have completed the tutorial, they can download a certificate of completion to submit in Blackboard as a PDF.
Option 1: Students can complete an embedded Google Form with their name, course, and professor and send a copy for the form to an email address. You will know that students have gone through the entire tutorial, but won't see their responses or quiz results.
Option 2: Students can print a report of their responses at the end of the tutorial and save the file as a PDF to upload in Blackboard. You will be able to see their responses and quiz results, but there are more likely to be technical issues.
Saving results as a PDF:
1. Select "Print Results" on the Quiz Results page.
2. Right click anywhere on the next screen.
3. Choose "Print..."
4. Change the print destination to "Save as a PDF."
4. Select the Print button.
5. Save the file in Documents or Desktop to find your PDF again.
