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, 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!!!!

Right isn't always popular

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

-Margaret Chase Smith

The right isn't always the most supported but is in fact a test of moral character. So have your ideals and morals in line doing whats right isn't always easy.

Dot-What?

Look at the site’s address. What fallows the dot?

·    

    Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·        Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts and might not present all sides of an argument.

·      

      Dot-Gov indicates a government website at the federal state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistic, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·        Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy anyone associated with the university whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on web but that dosen’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
