Academic Skills Videos

• New to college and looking for advice about how to get started researching and writing all these papers?
• Want to give your students some extra help in learning how to navigate the research process in an academic environment?
• Are you just a sucker for charming Canadian accents?

The University of Prince Edward Island has created a really nice set of videos to help students with skills like active and critical reading, choosing a topic, using library databases and essay building.  The videos are about 5-10 minutes long and are fast-moving and clear in the style of the “… in Plain English” series.

These videos could be really helpful and even enjoyable for people who have a long list of papers, but just can’t seem to get started.  Good luck!
