Implementing course-sequenced interactive library
modules as a way to ensure online student success.
Students in three consecutive nursing classes in the online RN-BSN program
completed interactive library modules aimed at teaching information literacy skills
and database searching in nursing specific resources.
Sequencing library modules over the course of multiple semesters allowed
students to build upon core knowledge that is necessary to successfully complete
increasingly advanced assignments and gain research skills that can be applied
in their future careers as nurses.
Library modules provide a way to ensure that
online students receive the same content and quality
of instruction as their counterparts who attend
classes in person.

Modules are interactive, meaning that students
have to complete activities and answer questions to
progress further in each module. An assigned graded
quiz testing students’ knowledge was completed by
students after viewing the modules.
