PRIMO site of the month: InfoRhode Tutorials

The latest choice of the Peer-Reviewed Instructional Materials Online (PRIMO) Committee of the Instruction Section of ACRL for their Site of the Month is InfoRhode Tutorials. There is an interview with producer Jim Kinnie on the PRIMO website. "InfoRhode Tutorials is an online tutorial that explores the basics of college-level research. It consists of six modules that follow the research process: Start, Identify, Gather I, Gather II, Evaluate, and Cite. Each module includes two sections (one has three sections); each section has a presentation (short video), an interactive activity, and a quiz. InfoRhode modules can be used for point-of-need instruction, as an embedded resource in a credit course, or as a substitute for lecture/demonstration in flipped classrooms. They can stand alone or be used in customizable combinations." The interview is at http://acrl.ala.org/IS/september-2015-site-of-the-month/
