Research Guides: Well-Being: Tips &amp; resources for online learning

What Are Learning Science & Information Literacy?

During remote learning, the MCC Library created emails featuring evidence-based tips that Peer Learning Success Mentors shared with all new liberal arts students to help them succeed. The tips focused on:

information literacy, the skills and habits that help a person find and use information to solve a problem or answer a question, and
learning science, evidence-based information about how the brain receives, processes, stores, and retrieves information and what helps the brain do this better.
