Abstract
High impact practices like undergraduate research and CUREs are excellent experiences for student learning and workforce development. Students from all fields can engage in research, albeit training and approach is varied. In 2014, library faculty at Virginia Tech, piloted the Advanced Research Skills Program (ARS) to help faculty mentors and lab leaders train their students in research literacy. Programmatic challenges were identified and approaches to excite students to enroll needed to be developed. In this session, the presenters will cover three pedagogical approaches (teaching in-person, online, hybrid) for training and tracking undergraduates in research literacy and outlooks for the future.
