Module 6: Evaluate your resources

Using the crap test

Of course, journal articles are not the only information type that you may draw upon when doing an assessment task. This short video about evaluating information will introduce you to the CRAP test which can be applied to any information resource.

Now look at these two websites:

https://wellnessathome.com.au/

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/healthy-lifestyle

Do either of them pass the CRAP test? Think about which elements of the sites you looked at to help you make your decision.

Now do this short activity to test your understanding.
