Source Checker
Found something online for your assignment? Paste the link. The checker shows you the signs to look at, helps you read laterally and suggests resources to compare. It does not decide for you — you do.
-
01 What the link tells us
Signals from the web address itself.
-
02 Read laterally – what do others say?
Leave the page and check the source from the outside, like professional fact-checkers do. Each card opens a new tab.
Who runs it?

03 Are the references real?
If you pasted a chatbot answer above, each reference is looked up in free public catalogues. This is a hint, not proof – always open and check a reference yourself too.
-
04 Your own check
Answer honestly after looking at the source. There are no wrong answers – this is your evidence for the decision.
-
05 Compare with trusted open resources
Open, curated resources to check this topic against.
Opens a clean printable summary of what you checked, for attaching to your assignment.
This tool runs only in your browser. The only things ever sent elsewhere are: the link or domain (to RDAP, Wikipedia, Wikidata and the Internet Archive), the site name (to Wikipedia), and a reference's DOI, ISBN or title text (to Crossref, OpenAlex and Open Library) – never your full pasted text or your own answers. The signs are hints, not proof – a good-looking site can be wrong and a small blog can be right.

Escape the AI Lab
An accessible escape room: five rooms, one for each topic, and 40 questions per game, picked from a bank of 80 so that every game is different. Instant feedback – and ARIA, an AI you should not always trust. Teachers can also import all the questions into Moodle.
