ENG 103/201: Composition

This guide will introduce you to the steps of the research process and resources relevant to College Reading & Writing students.

Information for ENG 101 Instructors

As ENG 101 is not an Information Literacy-designated course, collaboration with a librarian is not required. However, if your course has a research component, we recommend one of the following:

  • Import the ENG 101 Module from the Canvas Commons.

    • This is a module that you can utilize in your online ENG 101 course. You will be able to preview the module before importing it into your course and will also be able to modify/customize it after importing. This content will take your students around an hour to complete in total, with each module taking 20 minutes or less. You can find more information on the tutorials by viewing the 'readme' file for instructors in Canvas Commons.

      • The newly redesigned modules are intended to replace a traditional, "one-shot" information literacy session. Instead, these modules allow you as the instructor to place this content in context, exactly where students need it most. These modules are housed in Canvas Commons and use the tutorial software, LibWizard, to provide hands-on engagement with library resources and real-time feedback on knowledge checks. In addition to updated content, there are two new components: a module on synthesizing information and using it ethically, and a pre- and post-research reflection on information behaviors and attitudes.

  • Consult with Your Librarian.

    • We can work together on best practices for integrating information literacy into your course. Partnering up allows for more meaningful, relevant learning experiences that are customized to you, your, course, and your students. Examples of what this might look like for your class:
      • Providing videos, tutorials, course guides, or other content for Canvas
      • Suggesting readings, handouts, or in-class activities
      • Co-developing an assignment or lesson plan
      • Collaborating on scaffolding information literacy across your course
    • Because instructional material takes time to create, please schedule a consultation as early as possible. Capacity is limited and requests made on short notice may not be able to be fulfilled.
    • If you have a research assignment for your class (or have a draft you’d like to finish designing together!), please follow up your appointment request by sharing it with Stephanie Crowe at crowes@uncw.edu to prepare for your meeting.
