Workshop on Quality and Authenticity of Web Resources.

This era is era of digitalization. This digitalization is result of development of Internet and device which allows us to access Internet whenever we want.


There was a time when we can use internet only in PC or leptop. But now we can use that from our smartphone also. Because of this revolution people started getting knowledge from internet. They rely on internet for  even small things. There is lots of source of everything on internet. But that has question of authenticity. 

Most of students use internet source for there academic work like assignments and presentations. But many time students don't know that actually this side is authentic or not ?  I am student of department of English Bhavnagar University. In in our department we also use the source of internet for our assignments and presentations. To give us a knowledge about how to found found good site or automatic side for our assignments and presentation our sir Dr. Dilip Barad has organise workshop on quality and authenticity of web resources on 20 November 2019. 

From the artical from Prevent Plagiarism from turnitin.com.  In this article there are five points given to Analysis the site. 

1. Authoritative
2. Educational values
3. Intent
4. Originality
5. Quality

Our sir has also told us to do practical of it. Me and my banch partner Ruchita and Prakruti work in group We analyse three sides. Our work is given below.

1.  Litchart : 

The first sight we analyse is Litchart. When we looked at who runs this  site that time we found that this site is run by 22 year old Harvard grads. He is a student so the authenticity of the site is not very high. But the purpose of providing information about literature is serve in very good manner. The work in the site is cited very well. 

2. bechlorandmaster.com : 

When we look at content of the the site that is quite well. But there is no any clarification about the author or about the owner of the site also there is no work citation. So so we must careful while reading or citing this site because question of authenticity remains.

3.  Supersummary.com :

The intent of the site to provide information is serves quite well. But here also the question of authenticity is remained because they said that this site is run by academicians professor but there was no name of them. So we can not sure about it.
