How do I complete tutorials and earn digital badges from the library?

Answer

Improve your information literacy, and earn a digital badge, by taking the library's tutorials in Canvas

For each tutorial, you will be eligible to earn a digital badge. We currently have tutorials on Scholarly Articles, Finding Books and Articles, Plagiarism and Citing, Finding Surveys and Instruments, Preventing Plagiarism, Evaluating Sources, Conflicting Information, Becoming an Open Minded Researcher, and more. 

To take the tutorials, self enroll in the Library Tutorials course using this link (log in required): https://fresnostate.instructure.com/enroll/AYKKRE

The landing page will look like this:

Instructors: If you would like any of these modules to be included in your course as an assignment, you can have students submit the badges they earn as evidence. If you would like to remix, reuse or change any of these modules let us know and we will add them to the Canvas Commons.

Earning & Collecting Badges

Once you've completed a tutorial and taken the accompanying quiz, there are 2 things you need to do to earn your badge: 

1. Set Up Your Backpack

First, you will need an account with Canvas Badges (Badgr). Choose to sign up or log in if you already have an account. Go to the Account link at the top right to edit your user profile. Be sure to add any other email addresses you might use to earn badges.

Once you've completed a quiz, you'll receive an email that looks like this:

From the email, click the link to visit the Badgr site where you can download and display your badge.

Please note: It may take up to 24 hours to receive a confirmation email. If you have any questions, please email Matthew Doyle.
