Abstract

Abstract Online information sources help undergraduate students acquire knowledge and find supporting evidence for their papers. However, this practicality is often clouded with unreliable sources. As such, instructors need better strategies to teach students how to reach reliable online sources and evaluate the accuracy of the online information they obtain. In this article, we introduce a series of exercises to teach students how to identify the reliability of a source, ways to fact-check information, steps to use online search tools effectively, and examples of online academic blogs to utilize and check the reliability of the information that they present, and how to use online data/survey sources. We believe that educating students on identifying and utilizing reliable sources is essential for their intellectual development and ability to conduct their research independently. Therefore, our exercises aim to provide a roadmap for instructors to improve their students’ virtual literacy.
