Rotterdam UAS Literature Research Training

Introduction

Why participate this training?Bron: E. Langhorst, Hogeschool Rotterdam

There are more than a billion websites and more than 800,000 books are published each year. But where exactly can you find the information you need? In this training you will learn how to find reliable information relevant to your studies in a smart and fast way.

Train your information skills

The skills you need to search, find, assess, and process information are called information skills. In higher education, one of the student competencies is developing information skills. It is an important part of the competency 'research skills'. This training is aimed at increasing your information skills. The training is meant for first-year Higher Education students, and no specific prior knowledge is necessary to participate.​

You will learn:

  • about the types of available information sources;
  • to formulate a good research question;
  • to formulate and use the right search terms;
  • to search in relevant information sources;
  • to assess information based on quality; and
  • how to process your information when writing a report, article, presentation, et cetera

 

This is how it works:

The training consists of 5 modules, an entry test, and a final test. Each module contains explanations, quizzes, and sometimes 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:

With this training you can earn an Edubadge. The Edubadge is a digital piece of evidence that proves you have mastered certain skills or knowledge.

Three reasons to apply for the badge:

  1. The badge shows that you have a good basis to confidently start your research
  2. The badge provides content information for a possible follow-up study programme.
  3. The badge can be shared via Social Media, e.g. LinkedIn. It is an addition to your curriculum vitae.

Do you want to earn an Edubadge?

Take the final test after the training. If you complete the test successfully, you can apply for an Edubadge.
