Portfolio Assignment Information
Literacy and Searching the Web
I’m using relevant article from University of
Maryland University College website’s the information and library tutorial on
evaluating Web sites audio lecture and transcribe note.
According to the audio lecture advice, there
is many Web site contain of trustworthy information are use in college level
research. But some Web sites are not so
trustworthy. For examples out of date information, not accurate and
controversial information. Student should think about how to evaluate
information on the Web is W-4. It means Who, Where, What, When and ask the
right question and more detail for the Author, Bias, Accuracy and Timeline. No
matter what kind of Web sources you are using
a student much critically evolution to Wed site the information it contains. Also the Web
content and compare with other sources on the topic. According to the Audio
lecture all type of trustworthy information Web sites. There are
five type of (1) .com( commercial, business) (2) .org( non-profit organization)
(3) .edu (education institution) (4) .gov(government) (5) .mil(military).
As for my opinion, students to do an
assignment or home works paper for searching the Wed on information is
classroom professor lecture, guideline
note and it’s institution library are the best resource to get for accuracy
information. And other option are all institution, university and college Web
site .
