Judging Criteria

The Awards Committee will look at the following elements of nominated pages, weighing each equally:

  • Navigation - do the links work, is the interface intuitive, can you find what you're looking for? 
  • Content - is there content, is it clearly written, is it informative? In course-ware: does it advance learning? 
  • Design - in educational sites, are objectives defined and then fulfilled, do exercises promote those objectives, etc.; in institutional sites, is the site structure clear and is information readily available? 
  • Style - are the graphics well done, is the page layout attractive, is there a consistent look-and-feel? 
  • Innovation - does the site advance the state of the art in useful and attractive ways? 
  • Interaction - is interaction supported, is it easy to use, does it support educational content? 
  • Efficiency - does the design use bandwidth efficiently? Are images small in byte-size? Would content download reasonably quickly for low-end users? 
  • Flexibility - does the site support more than one browser? If it uses frames, is a no-frames version available?
