Use these modules to enhance your teaching and guide students in information evaluation. What constitutes credible information? How does source type contribute to relevance, authority and point-of-view? How do I evaluate and cite born-digital images and online sources? All modules incorporate common core concepts.
Beth Gourley of ASMSA reviews it: "... like many cite generators the citation generation is sloppy, and it needs a good deal of editing....when using citation generators, NoodleTools gets the citation format correct."
