Online Learning
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 do this:
·
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.
·
Study the
language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate
that the site is biased.
·
Consider whether
the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site
presents only one point of view.
·
Check the
links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether
in print or online, should include a bibliography.
Choose the Right!!
