Reflection

Day 6

I learnt the lecture about what is evaluating internet resources and what are the criteria to take note of when we evaluate the internet resources. Some of the criterias that i can take note of when evaluating are:-

Purpose: whether the website has stated clearly the aim and objectives of the website.
Coverage: what types of materials are covered in the website, does the website cover wide range of information, whether there are any time limitations for certain periods for the website and what audience does the website want to target at and whether the website satisfy the needs of the audience.
Accuracy: checking for any biasness and any errors like grammar, spelling and typograhy in the website.
Currency: whether the website's information are up-to-date, how frequent the updates are done and do the website do any maintainance.
Accessibility: is the speed connection of the website fast to retrieve information and check the reliability of the website and is the website stable.
Usability: whether the website is easy to use, user-friendly, navigating freely, search facilities functionality and got any support for the website.


I feel that all these criteria are helpful as it helped me in my evaluation of the internet resource.
