Potential of Web Resources for Teaching and Learning Physics
Considering
the lesson we went through, this time I will explain some basic specifications
of an effective website. You will have to note that missing some of the components
may result in to a hapless or bad taste for any visitors of the website, some
of these specifications are:
(i)
Fresh and original content that delivers what people
are looking for. This will keep people super glued to such a website for more.
(ii)
The target audience from the first click should be
able to
determine what the website is offering them and how they will benefit from the
website.
(iii)
Is
it easy to navigate through the pages; are there search boxes for visitors to
find for more?
(iv)
The
layout of the web should be attractive to the eyes. This will include color
contrasting etc. remember no one has the time to read all that in a single
page…

to find all or some of the characteristics above in any website you would want
to use its resources.
