How do students build trust in online information? Through real-time interviews with diverse undergraduates at the University of New Mexico, we explored students' decision-making processes when evaluating websites. Our findings reveal both expected and unexpected patterns: students' reliance on quantitative data, their distinction between trusting versus using sources, and their nuanced engagement with website purpose and features. Join us to compare your evaluation strategies with our study participants through interactive polling and discover insights to improve how we teach source evaluation.
