Module 4 evaluating the Web

In your own words, write an annotation for the source which could communicate to a reader both your 'judgement' of the site (http://gateway.lib.ohio-state.edu/tutor/les1/index.html) according to what you have learnt from the tutorial. Also include the reliability and authority of the site / source / article
the main ideas or subjects discussed in the article the purpose for which the site was written (this might include any apparent external interest, intellectual motivation or contextual information).


->The tutorial outlining simple ways to evaluate a website, provided by The Ohio State University Libraries offers and easy to follow guide to empower internet uses to evaluate and challenge material from the website they view. The site provides live examples and pop quizes to reinforce the learning.

Referring back to the previous task and looking how we displayed information about the websites we viewed, I would prefer the annotated explanation. It provides an opinion rather than just facts and as the tutorial states there is no hard and fast rules when it comes to assessing a website so a review following some basic guidelines would be useful to me.
