Evaluation

Which of the following is the best indicator that a Web site is reliable?

• The author of the site tells you the information is reliable.

• The author of the site provides contact information and his or her qualifications.

• The author links to his or her favorite Web sites.

• The author states in bold letters that the site was proofread by a teacher.

Evaluating content on the Web is important because:

• Web authors are always less professional.

• Web authors are always biased.

• Anyone can publish on the Web. There is no guarantee that what you’re reading is reliable.

• Printed information is always more accurate than information found on the Web.

When you are testing to find out if the website you are using has the most up to date information, you are testing for:

• Purpose

• Authority

• Currency

• Relevancy

When evaluating a website, the word current means:

• up to date
• down to earth
• electrically charged
• outmoded and obsolete

When we say that a website is a credible source we mean:

• the source is unbelievable and fantastic
• it is unreliable and false
• the source is appropriate for a business report
• it is believable and trustworthy

A website is biased when:

• it gives information about religious practices
• it is accurate and factual
• the author is a expert on the subject
