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
do this:
·
Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted
source. If the site gets those facts right, its 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 written, whether in print or online, should include a
bibliography.
