The document provides criteria for evaluating websites, including authority, purpose, currency, accuracy, and coverage. For authority, it is important to evaluate the author's credentials and expertise. Purpose determines whether the site aims to inform, promote, or influence. Currency checks if the information is up-to-date by looking at dates. Accuracy has no guarantees as websites rarely have editors, so citations are important. Coverage determines what topics are included and how comprehensive the information is.

Key factors to consider include who published the information, when it was published, why it was created, and whether it is objective. Signs of unreliable sites include wanting to sell something, unclear authorship, out-of-date information, less reliable domain extensions like .com, asking for personal information, and landing on Wikipedia. Reliable sources tend to come from government bodies, academic institutions, and professional organizations.
5 Factors for Evaluating Websites
This document outlines 5 factors for evaluating websites: authority, currency, content/purpose, audience, and structure/workability.

Carol jones evaluating web sites
There are five main criteria for evaluating whether a website is suitable for research: relevancy, authority, objectivity, currency, and suitability. A researcher should consider whether the information is on-topic, who authored it and their credentials, whether it is fact-based or opinionated, how up-to-date it is, and whether it is at an appropriate level for the intended audience and purpose. Researchers should critically evaluate websites using these standards and determine if higher-quality sources exist before citing a website in academic work.

1. The document discusses shifting the focus of teaching web evaluation skills from website formatting checklists to teaching critical thinking and content evaluation. Checklists focus on surface features rather than content, which is what determines a website's relevance.
2. The author proposes starting web evaluation instruction by asking questions like "What is this?", "How does it relate to my need?", and "Where does this come from?" rather than immediately asking "Can I trust it?". This helps students learn to evaluate content on their own.
3. An example quiz is provided that aims to engage students by asking questions they may not be able to answer, to break through inflated confidence levels and spark critical thinking about evaluating online information sources.

- 1. Evaluating Web Sites A Workshop for Educators Sheryl Eshbach
- 2. We’ve inherited this notion that if it pops up on a screen and looks good, we tend to think of it as fairly credible. - Paul Gilster, Digital Literacy (1997)
- 6. Additional information about Authority When authorship cannot be determined, keep in mind that ANYONE can publish ANYTHING on the internet.
- 9. Currency Students researching a topic are usually looking for the most up-to-date information.
- 11. Additional information about Currency Some websites will contain timeless information, as it is with history books and classic novels. The dates on these types of websites will not be as important as one providing information about discoveries in science, for example.
- 12. Accuracy Unlike conventional print resources, websites rarely have editors to check the accuracy of the facts presented in them.
- 14. Additional information about Accuracy There are currently NO standards to ensure accuracy on a website!
- 15. Coverage Many websites offer information on the same topic. Some sites are comprehensive in scope and some are just an overview.
- 17. And many more….. Other criteria are considered when evaluating a website. Often the appearance of a website is what makes it outstanding for some; others will give it a top rating if it is easily navigable. There are as many different website evaluation criteria as there are people evaluating them.
