10 Creative Activities to Support Student Engagement Using Credo

Wednesday, August 30th from 2:00 - 3:00pm ET

Join librarians Raymond Pun and Vang Vang as they discuss effective ways to boost student engagement using Credo Online Reference Service. In clear and practical examples, they will introduce and explain the benefits of strategies like gamification and visual literacy, and share how they’ve implemented these to expand their instructional and outreach services. Student engagement is a critical tool in building relationships with students and driving usage of library resources, which in turn can affect everything from retention rates to overall student success. With these 10 creative activities in their repertoire, libraries can combine cutting edge library trends with one of the industry’s most well-respected exploratory resources for maximum impact.
