Using Techsmith Capture videos to analyze a student’s information seeking behaviors

When teaching an information literacy credit-bearing course, it can be  difficult to assess what students learn, retain, and apply when  conducting research.  In the LIB290: Information Literacy for  Engineering course that I developed and taught Spring 2022, I had  students explain how they constructed their search string, what  databases/tools they used, and how they selected their resources in a  variety of different assignments.  Reviewing the videos  unveiled misconceptions in using phrase searching and grouping as well  as revealed the improvement students made prior to starting the  instruction and at the end of the semester.
