Citing sources: University Libraries serve key role supporting student research | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
What would happen if your boss asked you to get information and the information you came back with wasn’t credible? This is a situation many students may find themselves in if they lack the skills they need to decipher between credible sources and “fake news.” For example, sources found through a Google search aren’t always trustworthy. Using or providing sources that aren’t credible could result in very serious consequences.

Can You Tell Fake News From Real? Study Finds Students Have 'Dismaying' Inability : The Two-Way : NPR

Can You Tell Fake News From Real? Study Finds Students Have 'Dismaying' Inability : The Two-Way : NPR | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
If the children are the future, the future might be very ill-informed.

That's one implication of a new study from Stanford researchers that evaluated students' ability to assess information sources and described the results as "dismaying," "bleak" and "[a] threat to democracy."

As content creators and social media platforms grapple with the fake news crisis, the study highlights the other side of the equation: What it looks like when readers are duped.

Recalibrating Our Approach to Misinformation | EdSurge News

Recalibrating Our Approach to Misinformation | EdSurge News | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

In the past year, many educational institutions began to address the challenge of digital misinformation. As head of a multi-institutional projectthat addresses these issues, I found this heartening. Less encouraging, however, was the persistence of many myths about how misinformation works, what its risks are and how we might address it. In the hope we might have a more productive 2019, I thought I’d outline some of those myths and realities below.

We use media bias ratings to provide balanced news, perspectives and issues across the political spectrum. There is no such thing as unbiased news or truly non-partisan coverage - we use technology and the crowd to provide balance.
