Portfolio Item #2, Week 3

This week i completed portfolio item #2 for ICT. The task was to compare 3 different search engines in regards to their accuracy, relevance, and speed on a chosen topic. the results were to be displayed in a comparative table using microsoft word. This enabled me to display skills such as creating and formatting a table, applying headers and footers and incorporating hyperlinks into a word document.

This week i also learnt some useful advanced searching techniques. The week 4 study guide provided a hyperlink to the Pandia tutorial, which was extremely helpful to me, explaining the Boolean operator and its assistance in narrowing a search. This was a great discovery – one which I will exploit in my future research.
