Assignment Ideas

• Compare a scholarly and a popular information source. Evaluate them in terms of authorship, audience, purpose, etc.
• Compare different kinds of scholarly sources (e.g., print vs. online journals, journals with varying models for peer review).
• Explore online communities and discussion forums related to a specific issue or discipline.
• Explore Wikipedia. Debate pros and cons of “crowdsourcing” and collective editing.
• Have students create a class wiki on a given research topic.
