- How to Use tab – Here you can find information about how to get started with InfoLit, including descriptions of student access options, admin functions, where to find FAQs and how-to information, and more! In addition, at that tab you will find our privacy and accessibility statements as well as our Terms of Use.

- Data Download – here you can mass-export all assessment data from your account into a .CSV file.
- Link Constructor – this interface is used for generating links, embed codes, and LTI links that can be used for student facing access/integration. Please note that LTI capability is not included in trial accounts, but is a feature of the full product.

Student Access
To preview the student view of the product, you can use the “View course as” option on the Start Here tab to toggle over to the “Learner” view. In “Learner” mode you can see the course as a student would. Students have access to the content only and not any of the additional admin tabs.
Promotion to Faculty
The best way to ensure that your students get the most out of InfoLit is to promote it to faculty, letting them know what InfoLit is and how it can help in their classroom. Credo makes this easy by offering several kinds of materials on our Help Site. In addition, once you are an InfoLit customer, our Customer Success team will work with you to address your particular institution’s information literacy needs using our materials.
If you have any questions, or have any feedback on what you see, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thanks again for trialing Information Literacy, and have a great day!
