- Source Use by Second-Year Psychology Students in Online Distance Learning Weaver, Nancy Evans Barnard, Estelle Undergraduate Students Psychology Online Courses Distance Education Information Sources Textbooks Library Materials Assignments Foreign Countries Information Seeking Literacy skills and behaviours of university-level students are of wide interest today. The research reported here fits in this tradition. It examines second-year psychology students' source use in a course taught through online distance learning (ODL). The number of sources used increased across assignments. Most used were the textbook, instructor sources, and librarian-selected sources. The mark achieved increased with number of sources, instructor sources, and librarian-selected sources. Compared with previous research on first-year students, instructor and librarian-selected sources were frequently referenced by both sets of students, and source use related positively to their marks. This research expands the literature by comparing beginning and more advanced students; by replicating previous results; and by examining two assignments from ODL students.
