College Researcher Faculty Guide

Overview

College Researcher is a set of online tutorials about college-level research skills. Each tutorial, or challenge badge, consists of a 2-3-minute video starring an MCC student, followed by a brief activity that asks students to reflect on and apply what they learned.

College Researcher tutorials are informed by the ACRL's Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.
