I reference a lot of internet sauces. I find reading things on the internet easier than in books because of my dyslexia and processing disorder. It is something i've been called out on in 1st year and in 2nd year. So i was looking at ways of insuring the quality of information that i was ingesting and also to give the information more validation. Thats where i came across PROMPT evaluation. It is mostly used by the Open University to insure and validate the quality of information on the internet. PROMPT stands for the following
Presentation
Is the information clear?
Is the language right?
Can I find what I need here?
Is it succinct?
Relevance
Does this information match my needs right now?
Scan it quickly to
get an overview.
What is it mostly about?
Objectivity
Is the language used emotive?
Are opinions expressed?
Are there sponsors?
What are they selling?
What are the vested interests?
Method
If statistical data is presented, what is this based on?
How was data gathered? Was the sample used really representative?
Were the methods appropriate, rigorous, etc.?
Provenance
Is it clear who produced this information?
Where does it come from?
Whose opinions are these?
Do you trust this source of information?
Timeliness
Is this current?
When was it written and produced?
Has the climate/situation changed since this information was made
available?
Is it still up-to-date enough?
