WEB EVALUATION CRITERIA- SOME ISSUES
V. Priya
ABSTRACT
The rapid growth of online educational resources has made the evaluation of websites critical for both
teachers and students.
This paper explores key issues in assessing the educational value of websites, focusing on interface,
navigation, content,
reliability, and technical aspects. An evaluation framework is proposed, highlighting criteria such as
graphic design, ease of
navigation, authenticity of information, user services, and technical support. The study emphasizes the
importance of digital
literacy skills, enabling users to critically analyze and utilize online resources effectively. While
the framework provides a
structured approach, further refinement and expert consensus are necessary to enhance objectivity in web
evaluation.
