At the end of the course students will: 1. Understand the need to locate and use reliable sources and the importance of research based on digital information resources. 2. Know the main sources of information, both general and specialised in their discipline, identifying and selecting the most appropriate for each task. 3. Identify information needs and develop effective strategies to locate the appropriate sources. 4. Determine the reliability and quality of information and sources. 5. Retrieve information using accurate and effective searches. 6. Take into consideration the ethical use of information and avoid plagiarism applying academic and deontological regulations and conventions.

Teaching is online (synchronous). THE LAST THREE CLASSES ARE FACE-TO-FACE in Leganés Acquisition of knowledge through theoretical classes with teaching materials prepared by the teacher, online tutorials and readings. Related to theoretical competences. Acquisition of skills and abilities through practical cases of information search, analysis and evaluation of sources, and presentation and citation of results. Related to practical competences. Days and times of tutorials will be available in Aula Global.
