Information Literacy (http://projectinfolit.org/publications/),
an ongoing large-scale national research project, showed that
the majority of sample handouts for research assignments did not

Participants will gain greater appreciation for the importance
of a well-designed instructional handout for research
assignments through interactive activities and active learning
techniques. Participants will come away with specific elements
and resources to improve their assignment handouts to help
students navigate through the research process. This can
positively impact student achievement. Participants will be able
to: - Describe the common pitfalls of course-related research
handouts. - List essential elements to include in an
instructional handout for a research assignment. - Identify
appropriate MCCCD and college-specific resources and services
that can be incorporated into an instructional hand
