Dear Colleague,
Netskills are pleased to announce that the following workshops will be running at Wolverhampton University in February 2005:
1. Detecting and Deterring Plagiarism
Tuesday 15th February
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.
2. Information Skills: Is Google Enough?
Wednesday 16th February
This workshop aims to provide you with the skills you need to find
quality information on the internet quickly and efficiently. While
many search services at first glance seem easy to use, many users
find them frustrating and ineffective. As well as providing an
overview of the many different search services available, this
workshop provides practical guidance in getting the most from these
services using advanced search techniques. The workshop will also
cover quality evaluation and look into current and future
developments in the use of information services and searching tools.
Full details of these workshops, together with booking forms are available from our web-site:
