Online Learning
Part 1
Read Between the Lines
Make a judgment about
the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the
information it contains. Here are some ways to this:
Ø Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the
site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site
are also accurate.
Ø Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly
impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
Ø Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by
evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
Ø Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges.
Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
