Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers CC-BY 2019 Mike Caulfield

Just when we think facts don’t change … here’s a book that was written for university students by a professor, Mike Caulfield, at Washington State University.

Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers, at https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/

I was alerted to that on a chat message from Ward Cunningham:

Mike Caulfield was a dedicated federated wiki innovator until he decided in 2016 his energy was better spent improving on the near useless “web literacy” taught before then. This free ebook explains what works. The last chapter is is best where he offers a nuanced definition of truth. https://webliteracy.pressbooks.com/

The release of the book was announced at " Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers Is Out" | Feb. 17, 2017 | Mike Caufield at https://hapgood.us/2017/02/13/web-literacy-for-student-fact-checkers-is-out/
