The document describes several tools for developing online games and tutorials to teach information literacy skills. It discusses BiblioBouts, an online game where students complete phases like finding and tagging articles to earn points and levels. It also presents tools like Animoto, Google Forms, Voki and Prezi that can be used to create multimedia tutorials and presentations for online or in-person instruction. Finally, it provides examples of how two universities foster a sense of library for distance students through customized online resources and services.
