This rubric is adapted from a framework
to apply the ThinkQuest evaluation criteria. It will therefore
apply to websites which have been developed with the intention
of being a learning resource, but it could be selectively
used for all web projects.

The Project resembles the direct transfer of information
from other media (e.g. textbooks, pamphlets, magazines)
onto the Web. Information contains numerous or fundamental
errors, Project presents information as original when
it is not. The content is weak and/or unorganised.
|
Information
presented is generally accurate and any errors are
not substantive. The Project has reasonable content
and presents that content in an average manner. Some
ideas are expressed, but there is also direct transfer
of information evident. |
Information
is presented in a clear and accurate way. Team members
have
thoroughly reported on their topic and presented
their knowledge in an interesting and creative manner.
Ideas expressed are original and complex, with sound
support from information sources. |

Technical quality of the project
- Evaluate the technical quality of the
Project. Is it reliable, easy to use, consistent, self-checking,
robust, and well performing on a range of browsers and platforms?

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 specialised 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. |

graphic design, uniformity and artistic presentation of
the Project and its material.

The graphic design is unappealing and the identity of
the collection of documents is lost by lack of uniformity.
|
The 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. |
