Evaluating Website

ICT Education: Takes 5 and let's learn :-P

Hello guys,

Do you ever have problem in choosing Wed site? Well guys, it is importance to choose the right Web in order to get reliable information, otherwise your assignment would become pointless he...he

Evaluating the content of a Web site is important. Before you believe what the site says or take action based on the information presented, several questions need to be answered: 

•     Who exactly owns and operates the Web site?

•    Are the opinions expressed on the site objective, or are they slanted toward one position or another? If it is slanted, why is it slanted?

•     Is the information up to date? How often is the site updated?

 •      who is the site trying to reach with the message?

•    Do the hyper links all work, or are some dead ends? Are the links appropriate?

•     Like anything else, how well maintained a site is helps determine its believability. The same information should exist on at least three different Web sites.

                   Not all web sites are equal, and some are better sources for research than others. To evaluate whether it is appropriate to use a web site as a resource, determine whether the site is intended for your particular needs. In addition, make sure that the site content is not biased, the information in site are available and appropriate. If multiple site offer the same content, then it is an other indication that the information is accurate.

      Well I hope this sharing helping :-P
