If you want to know about the impact of the HEFCE funding then we have an Impact section.

We have a section that highlights tensions and challenges around OEP and the OER journeys section provides an interesting look at the wider context and how the HEFCE-funded initiatives fit into that. We also offer recommendations. If you contributed to our surveys, polls and interviews then we have a series of supplementary appendices and you can look at out methodology and evidence pages - all available from the main report page http://bit.ly/HEFCEoerReview. We have also produced a summary briefing paper."

Also, because the WAVE toolbar evaluates the rendered version of your page, locally displayed styles and dynamically-generated content from scripts or AJAX can be evaluated."  Accessibility checking.

The API supports most of the functionality found in Google Sites, which includes the ability to: * Retrieve, create, modify, and delete pages and content. * Upload/download attachments. * Review the revision history across a site. * Display recent user activity."
