RDN: Resource Discovery Network

RDN Virtual Training Suite

HTML

The RDN Virtual Training Suite is a national initiative designed to teach Internet information skills to students, lecturers and researchers in higher and further education in the UK, though it is also freely available for any one else to use. 

It comprises a set of "teach yourself" tutorials, delivered over the Web, each of which offers Internet information skills training in a particular subject area. 

The tutorials offer "any time, any place" training, take around an hour each to complete and include quizzes and interactive exercises to lighten the learning experience. 

They offer a subject-based approach to Internet skills training, enabling the user to:

• TOUR key Internet resources for the subject
• DISCOVER how to improve their Internet search skills
• REVIEW the need for critical evaluation of information on the Internet
• REFLECT on practical ways to use the Internet to support learning, teaching and research

The tutorials can be used by individuals as a "teach yourself" tool, or by lecturers, librarians and trainers wanting to teach Internet information skills to their students. 

Supplementary Resources for Trainers can be found on each tutorial.
