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

3. Evaluate the quality of the contents of the
Project, including the accuracy, completeness and the ability to
express ideas clearly.
| Give this project 0-3 if: |
Give
this project 4-7 if: |
Give
this project 8-10 if: |
| 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
5. 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?
|
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 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. |

6. Evaluate the imagination, innovation, graphic
design, uniformity and artistic presentation of the Project and
its material.
| Give this project 0-3 if: |
Give
this project 4-7 if: |
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. |
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. |

The use of the project results in the
project becoming more valuable
7. Evaluate how the Project allows users to contribute
and participate by sharing ideas, views, experiences and data with
each other via the Project.
| Give this project 0-3 if: |
Give
this project 4-7 if: |
Give
this project 8-10 if: |
| The
Project contains information that is static, repeated visits
to this site will not provide any further insight into the
topic.
There
is no opportunity for users to participate. |
The
Project provides users with a limited opportunity to participate,
but does not fully exploit the interactive nature of the internet.
|
The
Project creatively exploits the interactive nature of the
internet. The Project
has accomplished the goal of encouraging others to contribute
information that increases the value of the site for all
users. Users are able to
interact and additional visits will
provide the user with increasing information and knowledge. |
