Evaluation

Even though the site is a good way to get information and provides a good learning centre, it is hard to find the information that is wanted and is not particularly designed or set up well making the site difficult to use. The site does not provide some sort of index page and requires you to search the website to find the information needed. The information that is given is usefull, to the point and easy to understand. The interesting images and backgrounds engages the reader to read the information without getting to bored. As well as this, it evens out the optical weight making each page pleasing to the eye. The different ways of presenting the information makes the site more interesting and makes the user continue reading.

Lessons

Looking at this site, it has taught me that online education can be difficult because not all websites will be as organised as this one here making it hard for the user to find the information needed. As well as this, not all websites will provide the neccessary information which may make online education difficult. Also, to find the information needed, most sites require you to do a lot of searching either on search engines or on the site itself which will take your time and effort. On the other hand, these sites are very beneficial to those that cannot access information in any other ways. Finally, as a student, it takes self will to learn and study on your own and using this website is somewhat egaging, but not to the extent that i couldnt study a subject on my own by using this one website.
