Day 8
3rd November ; Monday
Today lesson taught us the different strategies we could use to evaluating a website. This includes,
•Purpose
•Coverage
•Authority
•Accuracy
•Currency
•Accessibility
•Presentation and Arrangement
•Usability
•Overall Quality
I was shocked that there are actually so many ways to evaluate a website. In the past, I always thought that to judge whether a website is good or bad is base on our first impression. Oh well, I was so wrong. From the above criteria, I personally find that accuracy, currency, presentation and arrangement are more important. Firstly, accuracy will determines whether the source we are getting are reliable. Thus this ensures that we are not absorbing the wrong information. Secondly, currency ensures that the information I get will be up-to-date. Thirdly, with good presentation and arrangement of the website allows me to navigate easily in without having the fear of losing important information due to the messy arrangement.
