• edition: aesthetic site uniformity
• organisation of information: capability of system to make all the facilities offered visible in terms of access to the information contained on the site
• browsing: elements that let users move easily through the site

• accessibility: must be able to be viewed by any browser and screen resolution; options to change letter font.

You are asked to analyse three websites, considering the indicators above. The sites to analyse are:

1. http://www.edu365.cat/

2. http://video.mit.edu/

3. your school’s website

The steps to follow are:

1. Create a table with the indicators in the first column; add columns to assess each indicator in the terms you consider suitable (e.g., not at all, not much, quite, very; number-based scores etc.).

2. Apply the indicators to the three websites across three different tables.

3. Save the document on your personal Drive with the name analysis_familyname and send the link to your teacher.
