BMCC Research Tutorial
Overview: After the success of the Business Information Literacy Tutorial, I built a second tutorial geared specifically to meet the research needs of students in English and Speech classes, which are typically the backbone of a library's instruction program.

Knowledge Creation: A Way to Evaluate Information Video
Overview: With the objective of teaching students a more effective and robust way to evaluate information, I repackaged the Information Transfer Process, a research model learned in my MLS degree. Powtoons was used to better engage students as were relatable and timely scenarios which require one to evaluate information.
