About :

"Misinformation on the internet is prevalent, and it is hard to discern from credible information. It is common among people of all age categories, but that leads into the target audience of this project, college students. Many college students are not aware of how to separate misinformation from credible sources of information. The purpose of this project is to help provide an interactive way for students to separate credible information from misinformation.

The project will include explanations and examples of analyzing sources. We will include a quiz of 5 different links, with mixed sources of both credible and non-credible sources of information. We will ask the intended audience a few questions regarding each source, and provide the answer key at the end. The point of this exercise is to demonstrate how it is difficult to tell the difference between the two, and to educate ways that they will be able to do so. At the end, we will also include the 4Ws method (what, when, who, why) for users to have a method for sorting credible information."
