Material Detail

This presentation provides information about how to determine the quality of information sources, namely, by examining five different factors (currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose). An example research question is used as the basis for a quiz, which allows learners to gauge their understanding of these criteria one by one. The text also incorporates images to illustrate key points.
