Asynchronous delivery enables learners to easily access support at times and places best suited to their needs and may be an ideal solution for students struggling to attend timetabled classes for whatever reason.
Online help produced by the Information Librarians can be embedded in module pages to maximise discoverability. This online provision may incorporate introductory videos covering specific information skills/competencies, such as referencing, accessing and searching a particular resource, identifying key resources to locate information for a specific assignment or supporting wider transferable research skills. Videos can be supported by online tutorials/quizzes to further reinforce learning.
