Delegates will be equipped to clearly communicate to students how to effectively search the internet using simple and non-technical approaches to the development of advanced searching strategies, and website evaluation. The course will address OFSTED concerns about research skills teaching by providing structures for progression and differentiation in the development of information literacy skills.

It is anticipated that delegates will develop and refine their own skills in using the internet and will have increased confidence in promoting effective research to colleagues and senior managers. The course should lead to improved outcomes for students leading to a saving of time, better learning outcomes, increased attainment and the development of skills to synthesise information from e based and printed sources.
