I thoroughly enjoyed doing Activity 9. Wow! What a change from the last activity.
Looking at how to evaluate web-hosted information may at first seem to be a challenge, but it was so much fun. Out of the criteria we looked at Purpose, Credibility, Accuracy and Bias. I found to evaluate Bias took way longer than what I expected. It was a tricky one.
The best idea I have learnt for web searching is to ensure that above all the information given is from a credible site. Then this would allow you to see the purpose and accuracy of the source and as a result, you may further investigate to identify if there is bias or anything else.
In addition, my view on the value of web-based information is that not all information ‘web-based’ is necessarily good for you to just get up and run with. On the other hand, more or less it is the discretion of the reader that determines whether or not the web-based information that they are searching for suites the context of the type of work they intend to use it to do.
