One of the challenges that students face is to evaluate online information for quality and credibility. Unlike
traditional books, publishing content online is easy and instant. Anyone with Internet access can publish virtually any
content on the Web immediately. Therefore, incomplete or inaccurate information on the Web is not uncommon,
which requires students to be critical consumers of online information. Yet prior research has found that middle
school students either rarely spontaneously evaluate online information (Britt & Aglinskas, 2002; Walraven, Brand-
Gruwel, & Boshuizen, 2009), or use naïve strategies to assess a site (Wallace, et al., 2000).
