Summary to Safari Objectives

One can apply Safari to their studies by collecting links and the most precise information they want to share or that’s necessary for studies. Information is in many basic categories and it’s up to one to apply it according to their studies. When keeping up with information, it must be organized appropriately. If not, you don’t have a great product you’ve made.

Relevant sources come from textbooks both open and published. Relevant web searches are from
websites who publish periodicals and published encyclopedias online. Personal websites should be from experts with credentials to back their thoughts.

When writing materials, it’s best to cite exact credits to information that you use directly from the writer. If you don’t, it’s considered plagiarism. Site references using both notes inside the body and through bibliographies. There are many examples found in mla style books and references to bibliographies throughout the internet.

PROMPT

Presentation – is the information presented in a clear and readable way?
Relevance – is the information appropriate and relevant to the purpose in hand?
Objectivity – is the content balanced or is there some bias?
Method – how was the information gathered together?
Provenance – who or what originated the information and are they reliable sources?
Timeliness – is the information up to date and does this matter in our context?
We will look at each of these topics in turn.


Presentation of the information written is important as relevance. If there are maps, captions, charts, and timelines, there are those details you can use in order to fashion your information approperately.

Relevance has alot to do with the sources. If you use bad resources, you'll get bad results. Resources such as some popular  sites are objective, but their links can be better.

 Objectivity uses balance. If you are able to stick with facts rather than opinion and challenge the relevance of some objective material, you may find better results.

Method 
information gathered together may not be written for your particular subject

Provenance  Origins of content are just as important as the information itself.

Timeliness some information can be just as up to date as your collected data or older.

Open University And S.A.F.A.R.I

The Open University has several courses that helps students, novice learners, and educators more capable of learning online via the internet and many databases. There's a particular course called Safari that helps to access information via The Open University's resources such as it's library and article database.

The course itself is really long for the mini modules that the Open University uses for starting online self-paced studies, but the resources are written really well and help you to access information quicker and easier than just stepping into a course all together. It's easier to learn a site rather than let a site send you in different directions.  LDT-6 is using Safari in Open University. You will notice after using Safari things are easier.

It consists of learning through local, national, international and many other resources and relating them to the subjects. Writing the information down and adding the resources you used and searching databases, www, and periodicals for similar and relative information to study a particular subject.
