RDN Virtual Training Suite (Web Tutorials) Online
The RDN (Resource Discovery Network) Virtual Training Suite is a JISC national initiative designed to offer free online training in Internet information skills to the higher and further education communities in the UK. It comprises a set of 1-hour tutorials delivered over the Web, each of which offers Internet skills training in a particular academic subject.
The tutorials, which include quizzes and interactive exercises, can be used by individuals as a "teach yourself" tool, or by lecturers, librarians or IT trainers wanting to teach Internet information skills to their students. The tutorials offer a subject-based approach to Internet skills training, enabling the user to tour key Internet resources and improve search skills, as well as need for critical evaluation of information on the Internet, and reflect on practical ways to use the Internet to support learning, teaching and research.
