The instructional resource focuses on taking students to academic research databases, inroducing them to search results lists of academic citations, and finally a basic introduction to locating the fulltext of journal articles online, in print, or via interlibrary loan.This resource was created using the Camtasia software and the the content is currently hosted by their cloud based "www.screencast.com" service. Each of the three parts includes Camtasia "hotspots" which link to other content including each subsequent part of the the series and ultimately back to MERLOT.Each segment concludes with a very light two question Camtasia quiz integrated with the video content. Students must pass each section before continuing to the next section. Quiz results are aggregated via e-mail directly from the tutorial. The three part series itself concludes with simple instructions for each student to create and e-mail their instructor a word processing document which lists a database they use for research, a representation of their search strategy, a citation which might be useful to them, and where the library finding service suggests the fulltext of the journal will be found.Pedagogically this resource uses both inductive and deductive approaches to learning. Audio/video content will appeal to and engage internet era learners and is augmented by subtitles and closed captioning which underscore the important concepts and instructions for learners who benefit from that presentation of the material.Students who successfully complete this three part instructional series will meet learning objectives and address educational standards primarily related to the humanities with a secondary emphasis on technology.The audience for this instructional resource is the beginner researcher. Students with some level of experience should be entertained and may bennefit but they are unlikely to learn new concepts. Students who use this resource may be traditional students at the college Freshman level working in an open computer lab type of setting or they could be students at the high school level taking AP English courses in an online learning management system environment.These tutorials feature clips of the enigmatic animator "Pogo" and his November 2012 viral "Wizard of Meh" video. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=713331 An online tutorial focusing on learning about instructional technology and the ADDIE model with a focus on elearning.
