What constitutes a quality online educational resource?
Richman proposed the "Ten C's" to provide criteria to consider in evaluating Internet resources.  They include:
  • Content
  • Credibility
  • Critical Thinking
  • Copyright
  • Citation
  • Continuity
  • Censorship
  • Connectivity
  • Comparability
  • Context
Teachers should also review websites for the following to ensure they are appropriate for students:
