The course consists of 6 modules and a final exam. Each module contains:
- text, short videos, and quiz questions
- search logbook
You can use this logbook to keep a record of how you conducted searches. It will show you what you have done and what you haven't done yet. This way you will avoid doing the same thing twice and therefore save time. You can save your completed logbook at the end of the course and print it. You fill in the following:
- search questions
- search terms
- search method
- sources used
- search results
- a final exam of 20 questions.
To pass, you must answer at least 60% correctly. How the Searchlight course is used and what value is attached to a successful completion of the course depends on your degree programme.
The estimated time needed for the course is one hour. You may stop part-way through and continue where you left off at a later time.
