June 2020

Although there are some uncertainties as to how Fall Semester 2020 will roll out, one thing is very likely – the need for more online course offerings.

NDSU Libraries have been actively acquiring new resources to support the design and implementation of engaging, rigorous, and well-structured online courses. We also have a collection of resources to support active learning across the disciplines in addition to access to Education Source – one of the largest databases of education literature and research available.

Most of our newly acquired resources are in ebook format and can be accessed online or downloaded:

Enriching Collaboration and Communication in Online Learning Communities

Handbook of Research on Developing Engaging Online Courses

Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes

Learning Online: The Student Experience

Managing Online Learning: The Lifecycle of Successful Programs

For active learning resources: library.ndsu.edu/guides/active-learning-resources-faculty

To access Education Source: library.ndsu.edu/research/databases/education-source-ebsco

Support for your students who are accessing library resources from off campus: library.ndsu.edu/guides/services-distance-students

As always, your librarian is available to help you find or, when possible, purchase accessible resources for your students, courses, and research. You can find our contact information here: library.ndsu.edu/directory/subject-librarians
