Information skills to serve you well beyond the college classroom

Unit 1: Assessing Information on the Free Web 

Introducing the Scenario

We know that not everything on the internet is true, but how do we determine if the information being shared with us is trustworthy?

Who's Behind the Information?

How do we know who created the information, and why do we care?

What's the Evidence?

We need to read the article and think about the evidence presented--and relate it to what we know about the creator and presenter of the information.

What Do Other Sources Say?

How do we compare this information from other sources that we've deemed trustworthy?
