Lauren Peterson on 22 Oct 13Lauren Peterson 10-21-13 http://netvet.wustl.edu/ssi.htm Overview: This website; directed toward elementary science, makes attempts to help educate students about different animals and organisms. It does this through links that lead to information on animals that are provided in a list on the homepage. Ultimately, the website appeared to be unsuccessful; with dead end links for most animals and organisms listed. Content: As the website offered various links to further information on animals and organisms, it failed to follow through. Some links managed to reach rather reliable resources and informative pages; while others were not as lucky. The remainder of the links on this site lead to dead ends; pages that no longer existed or pages with nothing on them. Design: Looking at the design of this website, there is little attraction and interest put into the homepage. Although there are graphics, they are small and bland. As for the navigation of the website, the links were easy to use and simple, but did not successfully link to sights that were usable. These "dead ends" may have been a result of being an old website that has not been updated for years. Overall, the design could use updating and correction.
