This course will help build skills in using the main tools and in developing search strategies for the Net. The tours, exercises and assignments in this course along with direct tutoring from the instructor will give you the hands-on experience you need to search the Net more effectively. Material about the topic, pointers to important sites, and short assignments are provided at the website. Students work with the lessons and then submit their assignments to a WebBoard for discussion with the instructors and other students. There are also optional, scheduled live-chat sessions.
Students receive individual attention from the instructors.
Please allow between 5 - 8 hours each week to comfortably cover the material. Aimed at those who want to hone their research skills on the Net. To be eligible, students must complete the weekly assignments and write a one-hour, online exam at the end of the course. I know that I am much more successful in searching the Web than in the past. The notes I have from you will be my Bible.
