Is it reliable? Enabling students to evaluate their preferred online learning sources via reflection

The common reflective journal assignment typically asks students to describe what they learnt from the unit in an essay format. However, with information widely available on the internet, it is unsurprising for students to instead search and learn the unit content from their preferred online sources of information (i.e. their digital personal learning network). As such information is not checked by the unit coordinator, students may unknowingly learn from unreliable sources. This project develops the students’ information and critical literacy. It tasks students to recognise, reflect, and critique their own digital personal learning network within the context of the unit.
