Pathfinders Proving Popular


Course-specific Pathfinders have been used by students over 7,325 times so far this semester.  More than  50 classes are using Pathfinders and they have been very well received by students.   Most faculty members have linked their Pathfinder on the left-hand navigation bar in their iLearn course, making it easily accessible to students.

For courses with multiple sections, Pathfinders are particularly effective.  A single guide created for Business 100 has been used heavily by multiple sections.

Some courses have chosen to use the majors Subject Guides instead of having a course-specific Pathfinder created.   These, too, can be easily embedded into iLearn.   The majors subject guides have been used over 10,000 times so far this semester.

Please consider having a Pathfinder made for courses you are teaching in Spring 2013.  For more information about thePathfinder process, please consult the previous post on the subject.   (http://cannavinofaculty.blogspot.com/2012/07/ask-us-for-custom-library-pathfinder.html)
