About the Event
Changes in recent years to the ease with which information can be produced, disseminated and discovered, in a variety of formats, has placed an increasing emphasis on the need for information evaluation skills within education. Previously dominant checklist style approaches, embodied most recognisably in the CRAAP Test, are no longer fit for purpose and fall short in their analysis of newer mediums such as social media and generative AI. The TRYangle Approach has been designed as framework for educators to help students develop the necessary skills and areas of understanding to approach information from any source with a critical and curious mindset, ensuring they are capable of making evidence-based decisions on what information is appropriate for use in academic work.
Disclaimer: As part of our mission to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas, UKSG hosts discussions on a wide range of topics affecting scholarly communication. The views and opinions expressed by speakers in this session are their own and do not necessarily represent the official position of UKSG.

Feedback
The UKSG webinars are great for me – they offer a wide range of topics and are very well prepared. I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too!

Great to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards.
