homework you’ve set is a
Wikipedia page then you
need to change the way
you teach.

5. ‘I say Wikipedia often but it is not
just for learning, I like to go on
there and just read things,
anything really… If I was using it
as a source in my coursework I
probably wouldn’t use Wikipedia
because it is unreliable.’

6. ‘I’d like to thank Google, Wikipedia
and copy & paste’

7. ‘…when they say, ‘Don’t go to
Wikipedia’ what everybody hears
is, ‘Don’t quote Wikipedia’’

9. ‘I really don’t understand why
Wikipedia is so taboo because
- I mean, I do understand that
anyone can add information
on there but then again
anyone can make a website,
anyone can make a journal, it
doesn’t make it like an
educational source.’

Credibility
Dave White

11. ‘While not originally
perceived as such,
credibility is now seen as a
relative attribute dependant
on perspective, and not an
attribute inherent to a
source, person or
information object.’

From Credibility to Information Quality

15. ‘All my professors have
said that it’s not a citable
source because anyone can
change the information.’

17. ‘Teachers don’t just
dislike it because it’s not
the most reliable source
since anyone can post
something on there even
though the site is
monitored, it’s because
it’s too easy.’

21. ‘You can go to
Wikipedia, you can get
an answer, you don’t
actually learn anything,
you just get an answer.’

homework you’ve set is a
