About the e-learning Compass: Information literacy skills

The e-learning consists of four modules, each taking about 30 minutes of your time. You can either take the entire course or work through each of these modules separately:

  1. Finding and accessing information
  2. Setting up your search
  3. Evaluating your sources
  4. Saving and using sources

You will earn a badge for each completed module. When you finish the entire training course, you will receive a super badge. With this badge you can show that you have successfully completed Compass whenever it is required for a course. Badges remain valid for the entire academic year.
