This week’s leason focused on online learning strategies and skills, mainly focusing on different strategies and techniques on searching and researching online. Since we are in school, we are required not only to write an abudence of academic papers but also read a numerous amount as well. Determining what makes a source credible is cruical to not only your college life but the rest of your future. First you need to determine the reliability of the online source. You can look for things such as if the contact info is available? the credentials of author? and consider the reputation of publisher/organization? Also it is important to consider the quality of the source. Its important to see if the article is up to date? well written? biased? consistent? all of these ideas are important to consider when determining whether or not this article is crediable. Lastly, paying attention to the utility of the article is important as well, things such as: is this article related to my topic? is it to the appropriate audience? is there enough or too much detail? Also the module covers the topic of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a user-generated, editable, online encylocpedia. In other words, it can be very imformative but the credabity is on the fence. Mainly because ANYONE can edit it. Overall, I felt that the most important thing in this Module was how to determine the credibility of an source. I believe that most students my age are able to know how to cite things correctly by now, the hard part is whether or not the thing you are citing is legitment.
