It's time to cut the CRAAP. The CRAAP test does *not* help students be smarter consumers of digital information. In fact, it often leads them astray. Bring your students' skills into the 21st century with research-based curriculum and instruction instead.
As @holden has documented, the CRAAP test was initially designed not for making sense of information online but for selecting library resources on a limited budget! https://hapgood.us/2018/09/14/a-short-history-of-craap/
In our research, we’ve seen time & again how the CRAAP test fails students miserably: They base their evaluations on websites’ most easily manipulated features, such as the URL, contact information, and functional links. As a result, they’re duped. https://purl.stanford.edu/mf412bt5333
Plenty of misleading websites pass the CRAAP test with flying colors. http://kappanonline.org/breakstone-need-new-approach-teaching-digital-literacy/
So what to do? Cut the CRAAP. Use evidence-based instructional materials instead. Ours are based on research with professional fact checkers. https://cor.stanford.edu/curriculum/
