Workshop for First-Year Students: Evaluating Online Information In-Person
How do you know if sources you find online are trustworthy and credible? In this workshop, students will focus on evaluating online information including scholarly sources as well as popular sources like social media posts, websites, and online news sources. They will work in groups to practice source evaluation using specific examples, applying the S.I.F.T. method and lateral reading, two techniques used by experts to evaluate online information.
This workshop was developed for first-year students, but any undergraduate is welcome to attend!
Please bring your own device, such as a laptop or tablet.
