How are Web Pages Evaluated for the Guides?

Interactivity

Interactivity: Interactive features, such as dynamic feedback based on user input is provided and add value to the site. For a WebWatchers' evaluation, we define interactivity as a different construct than inquiry learning addressed in the NSES. We are evaluating the interactivity of the page in the following area:

  • Content that provides the manipulation of data sets and simulations to see the relationship between variables (temperature-volume-pressure on a gas, height-velocity-mass on a falling object).

Should you wish to evaluate the web page regarding the level of inquiry learning it provides, please refer to the Inquiry rubric.

Participants rate the web page for the following criteria:

Poor

Fair

Good

i. Page does not contain any simulations

i. Page allows minimum degree of interactivity- learner is able to select answers/choices and receive immediate feedback to their choice via an online quiz.

i. Page allows learner a high degree of interactivity by manipulating variables in simulations, concept models or data sets to understand the relationships between the variables and explore understanding of the featured concept.
