The Spring Workforce Development Network Event will introduce you to 'Information Literacy', a set of skills to help you find and share information relevant to your work.
Come along and hear from Ian Watson from the Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services (IRISS) who will talk not only about ‘Google', which most people will know something about, but also about how you can access other information that can enhance your learning and improve your practice.
In particular, we will look at Social Services Knowledge Scotland www.ssks.org.uk which is an online information portal that offers access to high quality digital information. Being able to use this tool will be a useful skill for lifelong learning, and can be a good way to contribute to your Post Registration Training and Learning requirements (PRTL).
Grainne Hamilton from Learning Network North will also look at the Learning Network North Portal https://lnn.rgu.ac.uk/, which was developed to address the challenges posed by the geography of the North of Scotland. This online portal is available to anyone in the social services sector workforce,to facilitate or access learning opportunities, online communication and collaborative working.
