Last Blog Post!
Today's blog post will actually be the last blog post for UIR. It just seems like yesterday that our UIR has just started! How time really flies!
So, this last blog post will be to sum up on what is the most important lesson that I have learnt in my whole UIR journey.
Well to me the most important lesson would be on evaluating the different websites using the various criterias. Before learning UIR, I did not really bother on the website's presentation, neither did I really go and find out more about the website's information to see whether the materials provided by them are accurate.
But after taking up UIR, I realised that not all the information provided in the websites are reliable and accurate. We will have to evaluate them using these criterias:
(1) Purpose
(2) Coverage
(3) Authority
(4) Accuracy
(5) Currency
(6) Accessibility
(7) Presentation and Arrangement
(8) Usability
(9) Overall
Only by using these criterias to evaluate are we able to conclude that the website provides accurate and relevant information. In addition, by evaluating we will also be able to know whether is the website done by an organization or just a group of people posting their opinions and comments. Therefore to me the most important lesson that I have learnt in UIR will be on how to evaluate a website.
Besides learning how to evaluate websites, I have also learnt other useful things in UIR like:
(1) Identifying the different types of Internet Search facilities
(2) Evaluating on the effectiveness of the different Internet search facilities
(3)Writing a summary of our research topic on WIKI
(4) Blogging on the topic - 'My Dream Holiday' and 'If I have $500'
(6) Learning how to write a bibliography
But to be able to learnt so much in 7 weeks, it is definitely the hard work of our UIR teacher Ms Faridah! Ms Faridah would always be willing to help us if we had any doubts or queries about our assignment. =D It was really an enriching and enjoyable 7 weeks with the company of my group members and not forgetting Ms Faridah too! =)
Bye people~!
