Technical quality of the project
Evaluate the technical quality of the project.
Is it reliable, easy to use, consistent, self-checking, robust,
and does it perform well on a range of browsers and platforms?
| Give
this project 0-3 if: |
Give
this project 4-7 if: |
Give
this project 8-10 if: |
| Many
links fail, users can "crash" the Project, multimedia
connections don't work, it is easy to "get lost"
in the pages, it requires a specialized browser and/or platform. |
Users
can navigate easily throughout the Project and use it effectively
with the instructions provided. Not all pages work with
all browsers and platforms, and some links may have failed. |
The
Project is intuitively easy to navigate and use, generates
no errors, all links and multimedia connections work, performs
well on different browsers and platforms at different speeds,
and will scale well as usage grows. |

Evaluate the imagination, innovation, graphic
design, uniformity and artistic presentation of the project and
its material.

Give
this project 8-10 if: |
| The
graphic design is unappealing and the identity of the collection
of documents is lost by lack of uniformity. |

team has taken advantage of the strengths and capabilities
of the Web to create a new presentation of information and
materials, the pages are attractive and some uniformity
exists. |
The
Project is original, exemplifies excellent graphic design
and uniformity, and uses the many capabilities of the Web
to create an engaging, contagious and fun learning environment
for its users. |
