EVALUATION CRITERIA You can use a system called the CRAAP Test to help you evaluate websites. Now that’s my kind of test!

CRAAP TEST C= CURRENCY ﺍﻟﺤﺪ ﺍﺛﺔ R= RELEVANCE ﺍﻟﻌ ﻼﻗﺔ

C = CURRENCY Currency: The timeliness of the web page. When was the information gathered? When was it posted? When was it last revised or updated? Is there evidence of newly added information, “updates” or links? ﻣﺘﻰ ﺗﻢ ﺟﻤﻊ ﺍﻟﻤﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎﺕ؟ ﻣﺘﻰ ﺗﻢ ﻧﺸﺮﻫﺎ؟ ﻣﺘﻰ ﺗﻤﺖ ﺍﺧﺮ ﻣﺮﺍﺟﻌﺔ ﺍﻭﺗﻌﺪﻳﻞ ﻟﻠﻤﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎﺕ ﻫﻞ ﻫﻨﺎﻙ ﺩﻟﻴﻞ ﺟﺪﻳﺪ ﺗﻤﺖ ﺍﺿﺎﻓﺘﻪ ﺍﻭ ﺭﺑﻄﻪ ﺑﺎﻟﻤﻮﺿﻮﻉ؟

R = RELEVANCE Is the information available elsewhere ? ﻫﻞ ﺍﻟﻤﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎﺕ ﻣﺘﺎﺣﺔ ﻓﻲ ﻣﻜﺎﻥ ﺃﻮ ﻣﻮﻗﻊ آﺨﺮ Could the same information be found in a simpler source, such as an encyclopedia or dictionary? ﻣﺜﻞ ، ﻫﻞ ﻳﻤﻜﻦ ﺍﻟﻌﺜﻮﺭ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﻔﺲ ﺍﻟﻤﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎﺕ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺼﺪﺭ ﺃﺒﺴﻂ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﺳﻮﻋﺔ ﺃﻮ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﻣﻮﺱ؟ I wasted all that time on that website when the info was right here!

A = AUTHOR Websites are not always created by experts! ﻟﻴﺲ ﺷﺮﻃ ﺃﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﺍﻗﻊ ﺗﺼﻤﻢ ﺑﻮﺍﺳﻄﺔ ﺧﺒﺮﺍﺀ Look at the web address first – the address can tell you lots about the source ﻳﻤﻜﻦ ﻟﻌﻨﻮﺍﻥ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﻗﻊ ﺃﻦ ﻳﺨﺒﺮﻙ ﺃﺸﻴﺎﺀ ﻛﺜﻴﺮﺓ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺼﺪﺭ g n i y r 4 bu e k c u s a r u. w m o ww c. s i th www. rip-u-off. com

A = AUTHOR The address holds information about the author! • . edu = college/university • . gov = government site • . com = commercial site • . org = Organization/group • . mil = military site • . net = network of computers • . k 12. us = public school in USA

A = AUTHOR The suitable sites for reliable information are: • . edu • . gov • . . k 12. us However, these are not without problems because students and professors may have personal web pages on the university website, so be sure to read them critically.

A = AUTHOR Identify the author(s) A PERSON An ORGANIZATION

A = AUTHOR A PERSON WHAT ARE HIS/HER CREDENTIALS? ﻣﺎ ﻫﻲ ﻣﺮﺟﻌﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﺆﻠﻒ ؟ DOES HE/SHE HAVE SUFFICIENT EXPERTISE TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT? ﻫﻞ ﻳﻤﺘﻠﻚ ﺧﺒﺮﺓ ﻛﺎﻓﻴﺔ AUTHOR'S OCCUPATION / POSITION? AUTHOR’S EDUCATION? ﺍﻟﻮﻇﻴﻔﻴﺔ / ﻣﺎ ﻫﻲ ﺧﻠﻔﻴﺘﻪ ﺍﻟﺘﻌﻠﻴﻤﻴﺔ

A = AUTHOR • An ORGANIZATION • WHO ARE THE LEADERS? • WHAT IS THE MISSION OF ORGANIZATION? • IS IT A NATIONAL OR THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTION? • WHAT IS ITS MEMBERSHIP? • DOES IT HAVE A “PARENT” ORGANIZATION?

A = AUTHOR How to verify an author: Look at the source to see if it tells you anything about the author's credentials. ﺗﺼﻔﺢ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﻗﻊ ﻟﺘﻌﻠﻢ ﻫﻞ ﻳﻤﻜﻨﻚ ﻣﻌﺮﻓﺔ ﺷﻴﺀ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺆﻠﻒ ﻣﻦ ﺧﻼﻝ “About us” “About the author” “Author Bio” “Mission Statement” “Who we are” Use a search engine (such as Google or Yahoo) to find information about the author(s) ﺍﺳﺘﺨﺪﻡ ﻣﺤﺮﻛﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﺒﺤﺚ ﻟﻤﻌﺮﻓﺔ ﺃﻲ ﺷﻲ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺆﻠﻒ؟ Do a “Who is” search at www. whois. net to determine the website’s registered domain ﻟﻤﻌﺮﻓﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﺠﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺮﺋﻴﺴﻲ ﻟﻬﺬﺍ www. whois. net ﺍﺑﺤﺚ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻮﻗﻊ . ﺍﻟﻤﻮﻗﻊ

A = ACCURACY Does the author support his or her statements with data or works cited? Look at the LINKS on the site What kinds of links are listed? Are the links relevant and appropriate for the site? Do the links go to internal pages on the same site or to other websites?

A= ACCURACY Are there spelling, grammar, or other errors? Can you verify any of the information in independent sources or from your own knowledge? Can you find any cases where the author has plagiarized other sources? In other words, has the author used other authors' words or ideas without properly citing them, so as to pass them off as original ideas?

A = ACCURACY

P = PURPOSE Purpose: Why the site was created: inform? inform promote an ideology? To enlighten? enlighten To To : ﻟﻤﺎﺫﺍ ﺗﻢ ﺇﻧﺸﺎﺀ ﻣﻮﻗﻊ : ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺽ ﻹﻋﻼﻡ؟ ﻟﺘﻌﺰﻳﺰ ﺃﻴﺪﻳﻮﻟﻮﺟﻴﺔ؟ ﻟﺘﻨﻮﻳﺮ؟
