Teacher's Guide to Assessing Credibility of Online Resources Internet has definitely marked a revolution in the way human knowledge is being generated, shared, communicated, and stored. The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge – the search engine. With this abundance of online information comes the question of credibility. Some critics argue that a tsunami of hogwash has already rendered the Web useless. I disagree. We are indeed inundated by online noise pollution, but the problem is soluble. According to Dobson and Willinsky, to be information literate a person “ must be able to recognize when information is needed, and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information”.

Five Ways to Protect Your Online Reputation - AARP So to put your best foot forward online, here are five things you need to do: Know your digital identity Chances are your digital identity is pretty complex. Some of it you create — at a minimum, you should have pages on LinkedIn and Facebook. Some of it is created by your friends when they post comments and photos you’re in. Your first task is to know what’s out there. When you’ve narrowed things down, click on the top 10 to 20 links. Now, some of the other people who popped up during your search may seem to an employer to be you, though they’re not. In an extreme case — someone with your name, say, was convicted of fraud in your town last month — you may want to be proactive and inform a potential employer that you’re not this person. But keep in mind that if your doppelgänger’s entry appears far down a search results list, it’s probably not going to bite you. Scrub your social media On Twitter, you can review mentions on your profile name and discover tweets by others that mention you.

Download this handout College writing often involves integrating information from published sources into your own writing in order to add credibility and authority--this process is essential to research and the production of new knowledge. However, when building on the work of others, you need to be careful not to plagiarize: "to steal and pass off (the ideas and words of another) as one's own" or to "present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source."1 The University of Wisconsin takes very seriously this act of "intellectual burglary," and the penalties are severe. These materials will help you avoid plagiarism by teaching you how to properly integrate information from published sources into your own writing. 1.

More Information on Fair Use Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use. Section 107 calls for consideration of the following four factors in evaluating a question of fair use: Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. In addition to the above, other factors may also be considered by a court in weighing a fair use question, depending upon the circumstances.

Indecisive One of the reasons people don't finish tasks is their fear of being evaluated.
