This Specialization is intended for anyone seeking to develop online, internet researching skills along with advanced knowledge of multimedia for the creation of digital objects such as presentations, infographics, posters, commercials, podcasts, and movies. Through these three courses, learners will cover how to identify their information need, understand which tools to use when fulfilling that need, employ advanced search techniques and tools in various types of information platforms (databases, websites, government repositories, and libraries to name a few), and how to organize the information they find using open data management tools like Endnote and Zotero. In addition, learners explore not only finding and ethically using multimedia but also how to create visually compelling digital artifacts for their personal and professional use. All of these skills will prepare them to conduct effective research (business, academic, and personal) and present it to appropriate audiences using aesthetically impactful media. In addition to earning a certificate from Coursera for each course and for the specialization, you'll also receive a Micro-Credential Digital Badge from the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York recognizing your accomplishment. Use your verified digital badge to promote your achievement online, and access job insights related to your new skills.

VERY VERY USEFUL IN DOING THIS TASK, IT MAKES UNDERSTANDING OF PEER-REVIEW-ARTCILES AND SCHOLARLY-JOURNALS , CRAAP TEST DURING RESEARCH, NARROW DOWN TO RESEARCH EXACT AREAS,.. MIND MAP OF RESEARCH CENTRAL IDEA ,
Originally, I chose this course to brush up my internet surfing skills. I found the information easy to grasp and learned some helpful skills. But, more importantly, the information was invaluable on how to verify the accuracy of information. For instance, does the author have the expertise in the fields they are providing information to qualify as an original resource, and more importantly, has the knowledge in that subject matter area? I was able to complete this class in a very short time. My thanks to the creators of this class!

I learned useful techniques for critical thinking and strategies to aid my learning including mind mapping, validity from information online, seeking reliable resources from database, search strategies using boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to widen or narrowing search, and practicing digital hygiene.

This course gave me a better understanding of how to find, organize, and use information effectively. The practical exercises helped me improve my research and information management skills. It is a valuable foundation for anyone interested in learning, technology, and data.
This Course takes a deep dive into a much needed discussion about how to handle the high availability of information, how to go about research as a scholar and picking high quality scholar information, which sources to use and how to use them.
The course was helpful in developing critical thinking, and navigating the pool of information.
