Kemp’s Creative Happiness Blog

In the past, when I was on the lookout for some inspiration for new stories for my blog, I just typed in some keywords into Google and hoped to find what I had in mind. Most of the time though you end up with loads of pages that are not really relevant. Even if you think they are how can you judge the information provided is valid?

Then I came accross The Intute: Virtual Training Suite, which provides free internet tutorials to help you learn how to get the best from the Web for your education and research.

These tutorials are written and updated by a team of subject specialists based in universities and colleges around the UK.

Tutorials cover:

Science, Engineering & Technology

Art & Humanities

Social Science

Health & Life Science

As an example, I was interested in the subject of Philosophy, which you find under Art & Humanities. Here you will learn how to use the internet specifically for this subject. In particular it will assist you with the following:

• Searching a range of philosophy pages on the net
• Guide you to some key websites for philosophy
• Help you start collecting your own list of useful websites to explore later
• Use practical tips for judging which internet sites are trustworthy
• Help you avoid being caught out by dodgy information on the internet.

and much more.
