• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No, it seems all available information is in the article.
• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It doesn't seem to be concise nor over detailed. There seems to be information needed in Pricing and location though.

Response by Viktoria:

1. We are worked on this slightly in our rough draft and I will message the group to discuss 5. I will take a look at this and make adjustments as needed

Content

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added relevant to the topic? Yes, most of the information is relevant to the topic.
• Is the content added up-to-date? Yes, the information is up to date all the way up to 2020, but provides little information on the year of covid(2020).
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? Like I stated before there is little information on the year of 2020.
• Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? It goes into detail about gifted learned and self learner, but thats about it when it comes to underrepresented populations.

Response by Viktoria:

1. I will go over to see what didn't meet the criteria for all information to be deemed relevant
2. We were trying to not make this a pandemic education page and focus more on virtual learning as a whole. I will bring covid to the group's attention.
3. See response for 2
4. I will be sure to include information on low-income and poverty stricken areas and how they could also part-take in virtual school

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added neutral? Yes, the content seems neutral.
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No , its doesn't seem biased in any direction. It even gives the advantages and disadvantages of the subject.
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Not really, but there doesn't seem to be any viewpoints of students that learn in a more social environment.
• Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No, like I said before it doesn't seem very bias at all.

Response by Viktoria:

3. I will bring this up with the group, however, it never crossed our mind since if you're doing virtual school it almost always a choice, unless there is a pandemic or other situation that forces everyone to utilize online school

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

• Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes, there seem to be 12 secondary sources.

• Are the sources current? Yes and no. Most of the sources are from the last ten years.

• Check a few links. Do they work? Yes, all links do work.

Response by Viktoria:

3. I will check on the sources that are not from within the past decade and make sure they all work
