Søk og Skriv / Search and Write

Description: Søk og Skriv is a set of online learning objects guiding the student through the information search and writing processes. Further, the student is encouraged to reflect on the ethical, critical and creative use of information and to engage in a variety of activities that help them in the process of writing a research paper or a thesis. Searching and using information are presented as processes that go hand in hand with the writing process in the students' wider process of constructing meaning. The learning object contents take into account the students' situation in their learning process.To illustrate the different phases of the writing and information searching processes, students are invited to follow character Oda, a distance education student, and her progress in writing a research paper. Each object includes activities which encourage the student to produce different text types (e.g. brainstorming and outline writing) in connection with their own thesis or research paper writing. Other activities encourage the student to reflect on the information searching process.
