Make sure you are using credible sources in your discussions and assignments. Scholarly journals are the preferred source of credible/quality references. These consist of peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals related to the field, which are found via our Library. Websites such as Investopedia, ask.com, answers.com, or dictionary-type of websites limit the insight to the topics. Wikipedia is not acceptable as it is not a reliable or credible source of reference. The purpose is to bring in new information and how does it apply to our topic from a real-world perspective, instead of extending on definitions that are found in the book.

Description:
The Week 2 Lesson has two parts, exploring types of digital information and sources and fake news and disinformation. One of the most important skills we learn as adults is information literacy and the ability to evaluate sources and recognize if these sources are accurate.
For this week’s forum, we are exploring websites that check information for bias, misinformation, and possible fake news misinformation. Go to the following websites and review the methodology they use to test information for accuracy.
- Our Process at FactCheck.org
- Methodology at Media Bias/Fact Check
- Transparency at Snopes.com
After you have looked over these websites and reviewed the methodology of each website, please answer the following:
- Which website do you find has the best way to review information for accuracy?
- Do any of these websites have any gaps in their methodology?
- Why is it important for everyone to be able to evaluate information?
