Webmd.com vs
Mayoclinic.com
The ability to gather research and information from credible
and reliable Internet sources/references, especially in healthcare- it could
mean life or death in some cases. How do you determine the credibility of a
website or information on the Internet? What factors do you or should you
utilize to assess the validity and credibility of a website? Compare the two
healthcare websites of WebMD.com vs. MayoClinic.com.
Compare their homepages and then research the same
disease/condition on both sites too. Are they both credible or is one have more
credibility? Back your reasoning and opinions with the factors that you have
discussed previously. Lastly- why is Wikipedia not a credible reference to use?
