evaluate internet sources using structured approach to research and communicate process to doctoral students

For this task, begin by locating at least three sources of information from

Internet resources on a business topic of interest to you. The

information should be from a professional organization website or from a

website specializing in a particular subject. Ensure there is an author

identified and be sure the qualifications of the author are presented

in the website information.

Next, imagine that you will be creating a PowerPoint Presentation to doctoral students to help them evaluate sources. Create a visual diagram that reflects the process steps students need to go through to evaluate Internet sources. Explain each of the steps in the process in detail and use the three sources you identified as examples. Be sure to consider the following questions to help your doctoral student audience understand the validity of the authors you researched.

• Who is the author?
• What are the main points the author is presenting?
• What are the author’s educational and experience credentials? In what way do they support the author’s ability to express an opinion on the subject?
• Has the research been peer-reviewed or gone through an editorial process?
• What types of bias may be present?
• Who has a contrary opinion on the subject, and what are their credentials?
• How old is the material, and is it still relevant?

End your PowerPoint presentation by providing a real-life example from a specific business context where you could apply the Internet source evaluation process you just developed to promote a specific business improvement idea to your management team. How might the source evaluation process help you build credibility in a business setting? How is the source evaluation process different in academia verses a business context?
