Smart Searching Infographic
In Module 4.2 of ETL501, we were encouraged to create a smart searching infographic that could be used to develop students’ search skills. I chose to adapt Caulfield’s (n.d.) SIFT method into an simple, eye-catching infographic. The SIFT method is comprised of four steps that aid in the evaluation of information sources that students may encounter. These steps are: Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, and Trace claims, quotes and media to the original context. Further learning about the SIFT method can be gained through the Check Please! Starter Course.
