Abstract
Studying via the Internet using information tools is a common activity for students in higher education. With students accessing their subject material via the Internet, studies have shown that students have difficulty understanding the complete purpose of an assessment which leads to poor information search practices. The determination of the relevant information for particular learning assessments is the topic of this paper as it describes a case study that focuses on the information tool use of a small group of participants and is a continuation of a similar research study. The study and discussed research findings point to a student’s lack of capacity to fully engage with material online and the need for particular interventions to focus higher education students on the relevant learning cues. The findings of this case study form the foundations for future research with particular implications for the development of online assessment tasks for higher education
