reflection #8
Today our task is to evaluate internet resources. We opened up practical 8&9 and use the template inside as a guide for evaluation.
Criteria to evaluate internet resources are:
purpose
coverage
authority
accuracy
currency
accessibility
presentation & arrangement
usability
overall
Base on all these criteria, it enables you to make judgement on the web. You can evaluate whether the source is effective, reliable, useful, relevant and etc.
Evaluation of internet resource is very important as there are so many web pages available. However, there is not standardisation for the upload of information. Certain facts written may be wrong or biased. Useless and trash web pages are abundance online. Hence we have to evaluate the sources when we are doing research, ensuring that the useless or irrelevant information are filtered.
If you don't evaluate the internet resources you use, most probably the information you get will have errors or not updated. This will result in bad quality research results.
Do you want information that is updated and real?
Are you afraid of your research being doubted or questioned by your lecturer or boss?
EVALUATE the internet resources you use!
