_________________________________________________
The tutorials teach Internet research and information literacy skills and
are aimed at students and staff in UK universities and colleges. They are
free to access on the Web and take around an hour each to complete.
This is the second stage of a major programme of change to update and
revise all the tutorials in the Virtual Training Suite over the coming
year.
A national network of expert authors is being commissioned to re-write the
content of each tutorial to bring it in line with recent Internet
developments and to ensure the tutorials continue to offer authoritative
and timely advice on Internet research for over 60 subjects.
The recommended lists of key Internet resources are being completely
updated; there is new advice on Internet searching, with improved
interactive exercises; and a new section called "Success Stories" in each
tutorial to illustrate how the Internet can be used effectively to support
education and research.
The new editions of the remaining tutorials will be released incrementally
over the coming months - watch the website for details:
