Jayne and others,
Is there anything significantly and inherently different in the set
of critical skills needed to evaluate information one gets from
Internet from the information one gets from print and other visual
media such as film and video. Shouldn't we be teaching -- in
Research Skills courses -- and in others, a range of skills for
judging the quality of information which includes text, charts and
graphs, images, audio and video in any medium?
If there are an additional set of critical thinking skills which
apply only to information from the Internet, could someone tell me
what those are?
Thanks,
David J. Rosen

While the Internet is an invaluable resource for today's research
assignments, it does have its downfalls. David mentioned the
network going
down as one problem. A more serious problem is that students believe
everything on the Internet is true. They do not realize that
ANYONE can put
ANYTHING on a web page and claim that it is true, accurate
information.
They need to be taught, perhaps in a Research Skills course, the
specific
skills necessary to finding accurate information on the Internet.
Many
educators require students to use both print and electronic resources,
thereby providing a print/accurate verification of the electronic
information.
