SWIM
- information search strategy is a video-based online tutorial.
Part one - an interactive role-playing game
SWIM is an interactive, video-based role-playing game that
focuses on the relationship between information searching and learning
processes. Part one depicts project work, or the process of writing a paper, as
a process consisting of five phases, where each phase requires different types
of information.
The game concludes with an exam and an evaluation of the choices. The objective
of the game is to give the players an idea of how to work out relevant
information search strategies.
Part two - Information modules
Part two consists of five modules that elaborate and explain the
different phases of the game. The information modules can be used separately and
do not require having played the role-playing game
Module 1
Task initiation - use the information you have
Module 2

exploration - use easily accessible information to get a general view
Module 3

Module 4

Module 5

process.
