What this Trial Is About
This study aims to create and test an online learning tool to help people with cancer improve their skills in finding and understanding health information online. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do people with cancer who use the online learning tool improve their skills more than those who don't use the tool? The investigators will test this idea in a study. The investigators will put people into different groups by chance and compare the results. 660 people with cancer will participate. These people will be chosen to represent different types of cancer. * Group 1: Uses the online learning too (3 versions) * Group 2: Uses a PDF with the same information * Control Group: Receives no intervention What Participants Will Do: Use the online tool or PDF to learn how to find reliable cancer information online. Answer questions about their digital health skills before starting, after 2 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Development: Before the start of the main study the online tool will be developed and tested. The investigators will first show a prototype of the tool to two discussion groups and use their feedback to improve it. Then, experts and people with cancer will test the final version
