Reflection of practical 6

Purpose
The purposes of this website is nowhere to be seen, as this is a website that contains mostly reports.
Coverage

This website is about pushing back drugs, making the drug problem smaller, and I think that is the slogan for the website. There are many reports on drug abuse on the website. However, there are many links to other reports and this is a great way to organize the website.
Authority

There are links to official anti-drugs webpages, and reviews from people. It seems like this website is pretty well known.

Accuracy

With links to official websites, I see no reason that the information to be inaccurate, but I still double checked, and this websites gets a lot of their info from newspapers, and reports therefore the information is reliable.
Currency
This website is updated everyday, it is very up to date, and well mantained.

Accessibility
The site is easily accessed, as I found it from the first few results of google. Also, no registration or whatsoever is needed, and all the information is guaranteed free.

Presentation and Arrangement
The information on the website is very well presented, and there is a special part of the website with makes it different from others. There is a calendar at the right top of the website, and you can access reports uploaded on that day by clicking on the date. This makes the whole website easy to access. The report links are also neatly placed on sides of the webpage.

Usability
It is easy to access the whole website, and there is the calendar function with access to the reports, just click on the dates. This is a very useful function. There is also a search tool for the website, therefore this website is very user supportive.

Overall
This website is pretty good, as someone who also creates websites, I would give 8 over 10 for the website. The user friendly functions are great, but there are too little pictures on the website, making it less interesting.


what i have done. =)

REFLECTION FOR PRACTICAL 6

Practical 6 requires us to use a website that we have researched on for portfolio part 1, and do evaluation on them. There were several factors to condsider while doing the evaluation. They are, purpose, coverage, authority, accuacy, currency, accessiblitiy, presentation and arrangement, usablility and overall. There was only 1 website to do, so i got it done pretty quickly. I went back to my biblography to get the link for the website, and went to check the requirements of the website. Alothough i finished it fast, there was quite alot to do. Based on this excercise, i think that it reminded me of what i had learnt in the eariler lessons, i treated this as a revision.
