ENCOURAGE CRITICAL THINKING ONLINE
Set of free teaching resources designed to develop students' analytic abilities,
using the Web as source material.
Students are invited to explore the Web and
find a number of sites which address the selected topic, and then, in a teacher-
led group discussion, to share and discuss their findings. The resources
encourage students to think carefully and critically about the information
sources they use.
The subject matter of the exercises is of relevance to a
range of humanities disciplines (most especially, though by no means limited
to, philosophy and religious studies), while the research skills gained will
be valuable to all students.
