Evaluation Criteria 6: Ease of Use

How easily can students, teachers and parents navigate the web tool? 4 Stars


The readwritethink.org web page offers a lot to the user. Therefore, in the beginning the site may seem a bit visually overwhelming. There are also many options and ways to navigate throughout the site. It may require some users a little practice to become accustom to using the web tools and navigating around the site. We found that with a little adjustment time it was quite user friendly.
