Thursday, January 24, 2008 - Week er.... E-learning week. :

There is no lesson this week as it is an e-learning week. However! we had assignments tasked to us. we were supposed to do practical 6b.

After doing 6b, i found that, there are actually many sites out there, which gives you the same information, but varies in terms of site quality. An example would be that a site might look horrible, non-professional and unorganized. However, that site actually gave more information then another professional website that is 10 times better then the previous one.

I've also learned that evaluation of websites is not as simple as it looks. You have to go through every single page of the entire website. So if a website has tonns of pages, good luck. looking through those pages, you have to compare them, whether they are consistent, the layout, the user friendliness and the information given. You also have to check whether the information on the website is accessible for free or might need a log-in to get hold of it. It is interesting to find out that there are so many different small details that a common user will not take note of when they visit a website. I've also learned that, those small details, would add up to a good website.
