Online Credibility
How to Determine if an Internet
       Source is Credible:
• Domain Suffix
    • .edu, .org & .gov most credible web sites

• Evaluating the Information
    • Authority, objectivity, quality, coverage & currency

• Wikipedia
    • Never a credible source
• Using the domain suffix is the most
  efficient way to research information
  online.

     • Tells what type of web site it is
     • Most Credible Sites:
            ».edu: educational institution
            ».org: non-profit organizations
            ».gov: federal government
Evaluating Information
• When searching the Internet for
  information, ask yourself:

     • Who the author & publisher are & what
       their credentials are
     • If the author has any biases
     • If facts are being stated rather than
       assumptions or opinions
     • How recent the article was published
Issues With Using the Internet
• False information online
     • Anybody can post information on the web

• Difficult to determine author’s credibility

• Common use of Wikipedia
     • 11 million visits per day
     • About 1 in every 8 articles has inaccurate
       information
• Credible sites:
     •   consist of legitimate authors
     •   do not have any biases
     •   use proper grammar
     •   use facts & statistics
     •   use other sources to back their data
     •   was currently published
Future Possibilities
• Wikipedia creating ways to only allow
  people who are eligible, certified
  professionals, or credible to edit their
  articles.
• Stricter laws & regulations for posting false
  information on the Internet
• Developing easier ways for Internet users
  to know if the website is credible or not
