Evaluating Web Pages Leigh Grass EDT 525 June 2006

Before you begin… Evaluating web pages requires: 1.Develop a technique to help you quickly scan web pages for pertinent information 2.Be critical of each page to determine if the web pages author can be trusted

The URL… Appropriate Domain –Educational (edu) –Government (gov/mil/us) –Nonprofit (org/net) –Commercial (com) –Foreign country (look at country code)

The URL… Is it a personal page? –Personal name (lgrass or grass) preceded by a tilde (~) sign, percent sign (%), or the words “users”

The Author… What credentials are listed for the author If there is no author listed, look for an organization that claims responsibility for the page Contact information- address Different than a Webmaster

Currency Is the web page current enough for the topic? When was it originally produced? When was it last updated? Are all the links current?

Purpose What goals/objectives does this page meet? –To explain, sell, share, persuade? Is the information detailed? Is the information biased by the author’s thoughts and/or opinions?

Accuracy Well-document sources Related links or additional sites..do they work? If information is from another source, is it complete? CUPS (capitalization, usage, punctuation, spelling)
