Week 6 - Lecture

The week 6 lecture firstly discussed the freedom one has concerning the ability to create any web content at any time. Because of this, when researching it wise to understand the process of distinguishing the high quality information from the large amount of low quality info.
The cause of such freedom was said to be because of the time the ARPANET was created which enabled the retrieval and sending of information on the web.

The next part of the lecture focussed on the methods of determining the quality of the information provided on the web. Some of these methods include asking ourselves, "Is this accurate and recent information?", "What is the point of view and how bias is this content?" (Objectivity), "Has an editor or someone with a distinguished background verified this information", etc. With as much importance of questioning, you must question where the research for the information derived from, this is where searching for their bibliography comes in handy. Such methods enable any reader to sort the information provided through out the entire web.
