A question of knowledge: academic reliability in the information age

Lake, John

Abstract

The pitfalls of students' reliance on the internet previously discussed by Kinakh (2008) and Murphy (2009) are part of older and wider concerns about academic reliability and the nature of knowledge itself. This article looks at the situation from students' and tutors' points of view and suggests some further approaches for international foundation programmes (IFPs).
