Ensuring Your Resources are Valid   by Christin Banes
   Visit the following site, and make some
    observations about the type of information you
    find there: Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies
   You will notice information found is well-
    organized and the style of the page seems to be
    professional, but upon further investigation,
    some issues pop up…
   The information here is not supported by
    scientific fact, or by functional links, and the
    author does not offer verifiable information
    about his background
 Let’s discuss the reasons a
web site may be useful or not
and how to decide if a site is valid.

 By the end of this lesson, you will
be able to look at a site online and
determine if the site is reliable through
a simple, clear evaluation process.
   Introduction to Evaluation
   The Five W’s of Evaluation
       Who?
       What?
       When?
       Where?
       Why?
   Domain extensions
   Quiz
   Information can be posted to           You should be looking for:
    the Internet by anyone and               authenticity- true information
                                              that is supported elsewhere and
    editorial or expert review is not         proven fact
    always used, so don’t always             Authorship-written by an expert
    trust it.                                 with a reputable education, an
                                              author with a biography and links
   May look credible meaning links           to more information about them,
    to other sites, nicely presented,         an author who can be contacted,
    and supporting information, but           authors who used verifiable
                                              resources
    is actually untrue.                      Bias- information that only
   It is best to get a base of               represents one side of an
    knowledge from print resources            argument
                                             Usability-a site that easy to
    like databases, encyclopedias or          navigate through, information
    nonfiction books to know when             that is correct and can be verified
    information is questionable.              and links that work
   Who wrote the pages
    and are they an expert?
    Is there a biography?
   Can I find out more
    about the author-Look in
    the “about us” or
    “contact us” sections?

  created? Is there a date
  of publication?
