Studies conducted in many parts of the world indicate that students lack the skills to evaluate online information using established criteria which include information currency, relevance, authority, accuracy and purpose. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of an online tutorial in improving students’ online information evaluation skills. The online tutorial offers students clear criteria definitions, examples, and provides practices of applying information evaluation criteria. To test the effectiveness of the tutorial, an experimental design was conducted. Students’ assignments were analyzed to compare students’ abilities in online information evaluation before and after using the online tutorial using a rubric. Results of the experiment analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test indicate that the online tutorial is significantly effective in improving students’ online information evaluation skills.
