Our experience of administering the assessment
over two semesters during 2013 indicates that
the students engage fully with it, enjoy doing so and uniformly demonstrate a high level of achievement
![Page 29: Academic literacy integration into higher education curricula: Application of an Information Search Process (ISP) model](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051514/548247c3b4af9faf0d8b4732/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
… assisting me each step of the way to formulate and complete the assignment
The online tutorial helps because it forms a guideline which we can understand and play and rewind if we didn’t quite understand a concept…I would recommend a
continuation of the online tutorials particularly for those who …. on some days are unable to attend tutorials because an unexpected circumstance occurred

How could you apply the ISP model to your work context?
