These exercises are originally part of the KLaSS module developed by King's College London Library Services to provide information literacy e-learning to students across our faculties. They were built and developed with Adobe Captivate 9 and published in HTML5 format, suitable for use with Moodle.This set of exercises is designed to show students in the Arts & Humanities how to take a research topic and turn it into a useful and relevant set of search terms they can then use in an academic database to retrieve and view journal articles. ProQuest's Humanities Index was used as the demonstration database.The exercises cover three topics:Using effective search terms - the author describes the process by which you generate key concepts from a focussed research question in order to use them as search termsUsing databases - the author describes the advantages of using databases over other search resources, providing guidance both on how to find King's resources and how to use the search terms within themPractice exercise - the students have the chance to recreate the steps laid out in the previous two exercises in a simulation space designed to familiarise them with the various interfaces being used.This section of KLaSS is comprised of two demonstration exercises, narrated by the author Jane Pothecary, and a practice exercise. The practice exercise is not narrated, but designed to act as a practice run for the student where they click the correct part of the screen to advance through the exercise. The exercises have been published in HTML5 format so they should be compatible with any modern LMS. The authors have only used these files in Moodle 3.0, so cannot offer support for another LMS.
