1. 1) Accuracy. Verify the information you already know against the information found in the source.
2. 2) Authority. Make sure the source is written by a trustworthy author and/or institution.
3. 3) Currency.
4. 4) Coverage.

Non-credible websites may have a poor design, broken links, and grammar and spelling errors. They may lack author, date and/or source information. They will not be associated with credible institutions, organizations, or entities. They may contain unbelievable or incorrect information.

5 Things to Look for When Evaluating Video Products

1. Is it on time? The expediency of a project could be of utmost importance if the video is being used for a time-sensitive trade show or product launch.
2. Is the message clear and concise?
3. Are the graphics helping?
