Virtual Training Suite

RDN has a set of free online tutorials designed to help students, lecturers and researchers improve their Internet information literacy and IT skills.

JTJ blogged There were multiple sessions at last week's IRE convention related to online research methods and tools, reflecting the constantly dynamic nature of that activity for journos.

We recently were referred to RDN's "Virtual Training Site." It's mission: "The Internet is a rich source of information for students, lecturers and researchers. The RDN Virtual Training Suite tutorials teach the key information skills for the Internet environment. Learn how to use the Internet to help with your coursework, literature searching, teaching and research."

The site's organization is uncommonly arranged by topic and academic discipline instead of search engines. While there is no category for journalism, per se, many of the disciplines we utilize are there and worth a look. There are some fine tools here for educators, both in the classroom and the newsroom.

I agree. If you want to find information on the net, RDN's page should be bookmarked.
