It can be very challenging to stay on top of the knowledge for your subject matter and try out something new in the classroom. This is where the Digital Research and Inquiry Lab at the AU Library comes in. We provide support for you as you design, deploy, and evaluate digital assignments to enhance student learning. We can also provide guidance for your students as they progress with their projects.
We offer one-one-one consultations to assist you with:
- Exploring best practices for digital research projects
- Designing digital research assignments that align with your course goals and learning outcomes
- Choosing the right technologies to support your course learning goals
We offer your students:
- Access to specialized software and advanced computers in our lab space (located on the first floor of the library)
- Classroom visits to introduce students to digital research options, the lab, and its offerings
- One-on-one consultations to explore ideas or narrow down method or tool options to fit their project goals
- Guidance and expertise when reserving a service in the library
- In certain cases, classroom instruction on a particular process, best practice, or tool
- Workshops and self-paced learning resources related to digital research
