This page lists digital learning objects created by UJ librarians that you can share with students or embed in Canvas course sites. If you would like a library tutorial that you don't see here, reach out to the Reference and Instruction Librarian to talk about creating one!
Digital learning objects or DLOs are online educational resources in any format. They are typically self-paced and shareable across multiple platforms. The library creates videos, guides, interactive tutorials, and Canvas modules.

There are a few ways to embed YouTube videos into Canvas course pages: by using the YouTube LTI to search for the video you want or by copying and pasting in the embed code directly.
All Canvas courses how have a Library Resources section that is automatically populated with a relevant research guide or set of resources such as guides or databases. However, if you would like more control over the library resources that you embed within your course, you can disable that Library Resources section and add in specific resources using the UJ Libraries: Research Resources LTI.
We are happy to help walk you through this process! Reach out to the Reference and Instruction Librarian for assistance or to discuss your options.

UJ librarians have created several Canvas courses and are happy to collaborate on individual modules that can be copied into your courses.
Interactive tutorials on APA citations (references and in-text citations) created using survey software. Students watch and read through examples/instructions then answer quiz-style questions. An answer key is linked after submission. Students can have their submissions emailed to themselves to forward to instructors for proof of completion.
Guides are webpages, essentially, that can be linked to or embedded in Canvas. The guides below cover general topics related to research skills and using the library. Course- and subject-specific guides are also available (but are too numerous to list here).
