Dear Colleague,
Please find below details of Netskills workshops running at the Southampton Institute in March:
1. Information Skills: Is Google Enough?
Tuesday 22nd March
For many people Google is the one and only place to search for
information on the internet. However, to maximise the potential of
the internet, it is vital to use Google critically and to be aware
of other search sites and information sources.
This workshop will equip you to search Google, and other sites, more
effectively. It will also provide you with the opportunity to
explore what else is out there, learn about new developments in
searching and consider how to evaluate web sites for quality.
2. Detecting and Deterring Plagiarism
Wednesday 23rd March
This is a practical workshop aimed at staff in further and higher
education institutions who wish to find out more about the impact of
the web on plagiarism, and how to deal with it. As well as gaining a
thorough understanding of issues concerned with plagiarism,
participants will also explore essay banks, online plagiarism
detection services, and, through discussions and scenarios, consider
different approaches to deterring plagiarism.
Further details of these workshops, together with booking forms are available from our web-site:
