learning on the line


Online Learning
Part 1
Read between the lines
Make a judgment about the sit’s and responsibilities based on your own analysis of the site on 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 of the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writings, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography
