Rotterdam UAS Literature Research Training

Introduction


Bron: E. Langhorst, Hogeschool Rotterdam

There are over a billion websites and every year nearly a million books are published. But where exactly can you find the information you need? In this training course you will learn how to find reliable information relevant to your studies in a smart and efficient way.

Train your information literacy skills

The skills you need to search for, find, assess, and process information are called information literacy skills. In higher education information literacy skills are one of the competencies you need to develop as a student. They are an important part of the research skills. This training course focuses on improving your information literacy skills. The training course is intended for university of applied science students and no specific prior knowledge is required.​

You will learn:

  • What type of information sources there are.
  • How to formulate a good research question.
  • How to formulate and use the right search terms.
  • How to use relevant information sources.
  • How to assess the quality of information. 
  • How to correctly refer to the information you have found when making an assignment. 

 

How it works:

The training consists of 5 modules. Each module contains explanations, quizzes, and occasionally short videos. You can go through the modules from start to finish or do them independently. Click on the 'Next' button at the bottom right of this screen to start.

Edubadges:

At the end of this training course you can request an edubadge test to see whether you have understood everything. If you pass the test, you can request a digital badge, an edubadge.
