Sourcing: Identifying and Evaluating Information in the Digital Age
Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 145 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Sourcing, or using document information, like author, to evaluate texts, has been identified as a core academic skill for students to develop and, fittingly, has received much attention in the literature. This symposium brings together international researchers to examine how this foundational skill manifests when students use texts on the Internet. Assembled papers will address key questions about how students source new document types, available only online (e.g., Wikipedia, Question and Answer forums), and what may be the same and different about sourcing on the Internet. Further, papers will articulate which contextual and individual factors may support sourcing on the Internet. The symposium will conclude with a discussion by a leading scholar of literacy in the digital age.
