I think that this would be a great resource to use to explore website legitimacy. It is set up in a way that could be easily used as an activity with students. If I were using this with a group of students I would have them examine the following chart: http://copia.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/webcrit.html. This chart explains the criteria for evaluating web pages. It is a great companion to the UCLA activity. The UCLA activity asks readers to evaluate certain websites based on this criteria and decide which they would use for a research paper. Students could get in groups and decide which of their group of websites would be a reliable resource for a research paper.
