Module 4...
In this module,
we will begin the process of looking at how students can apply their
Internet skills to research health and medical information that is
important to them personally or professionally.
Performance Objectives
1. Be
able to think of a specific need that you
would have for health research on the Internet.
2. Experiment
with several of the search techniques that
we have covered earlier to find out what information is available
for the topic you are most interested in.
Activities
1. Read
and work through at least five case studies
in the Materials
section. Determine the best course
of action for those individuals to follow. Be sure to include as many
search techniques as possible such as: mailing lists, newsgroups,
subject trees, ask an expert, etc. Include at least five Internet
sites (name and URL's) that would help each individual find information
about their condition or need.
2. Compare
and contrast the search techniques that
you used to complete the case studies. Usually you will find that
some search techniques are very effective while others are almost
useless for certain searches.
3. Create
your own case study based on a topic that
you are interested in. Go through the steps above to find as many
effective answers to the problem as possible. Include this in your
essay.
4. Completion-
Let me know when you are done with the essay and if you have any questions
related to what you have covered in this online course.
(Congratulations, you finished the
course!)
