Subject coordinator: Katie Blake
Students are introduced to a range of techniques that enable them to conduct sophisticated searches and analysis in digital environments. Using case-based approaches and a real-life scenario, they learn to apply these skills to a particular problem. By analysing and reflecting upon approaches to the execution of searches as well as the significance of the content of information located through these searches, students develop an understanding of information systems and an appreciation of their strengths and current limitations. To develop an understanding of potential strategic uses of information, they learn how to analyse information to create compact syntheses that suit the needs of different audiences in different contexts. In a collaborative learning environment, students also critically examine themes associated with information practices in a digital world. Students continue to contribute to their course-wide ePortfolio.
