ETL501 Topic 3: Evaluation of Websites

Cyberguide Ratings


I thought the evaluation sheet provided was quite clear and could be easily filled in. Areas of authority and reliability were well addressed as was currency. This evaluation sheet focused on the content of the site rather than the technical aspects.  Criteria that were not included which might add or subtract from a websites rating could be:
-easy of assess
-the website is advertisement supported
-login requirements
-aesthetics and design
-supported format (e.g. flash)

-support from site

Evaluating an ‘evaluating website’ website


Looking through the CARS Checklist website I found that it was failing in many of the checklist areas Schrock had mentioned. The authors name was there, but not his credentials or contact details. Many of the links were broken or did not lead to where they were meant to. Further the website was last updated was in 2003 which in internet terms is very out-dated.
