How to use the Internet
The Intute Virtual Training Suite provides free Internet tutorials to help you learn how to get the best from the Web for your education and research. The tutorials are written and updated by a team of subject specialists based in universities and colleges across the UK. Click the list of tutorials and then chose the one that interests you, or have a look at the Internet Detective which will also help you to evaluate the reliability and usefulness of web pages.

You will receive notification of your account through your TMC student e mail.
