Blue Web'n Site Evaluation Rubric

About Blue Web'n Search Blue Web'n Browse Blue Web'n Blue Web'n Updates Hot Site

In order to share only the best applications, we filter our database with the help of the following evaluation rubric. In order to score a 5, a site must almost always align to either state or national standards.

  

Great Education Sites!

Learn to use technology!

 
Format

User Friendly
Clear scope, easy to understand and use, includes appropriate, clearly labeled links

Aesthetically Courteous
Graphics are quickly downloaded and relevant, text is easy to read. Background is subdued and coordinates with text colors and graphics. Someone using the current industry-standard monitor doesn't have to scroll to the right.

Aesthetically Appealing
Attractive and creative use of graphics and colors

Content

Credible
Information is accurate, complete, and maintained

Useful
Content is meaningful, difficult to convey, and/or quintessential

Rich
Information is rich and likely to be revisited

Interdisciplinary
Integrates several content areas or disciplines

Learning Process

Higher-order Thinking
Challenges learners to think, reflect, discuss, hypothesize, compare, classify, etc.

Engaging
Process engages the learner

Multiple Intelligences or Talents
Effectively integrates at least 3 intelligences or talents (language, math, intrapersonal, interpersonal, spatial, musical, physical)

We used to score each application using an interactive scoring tool. Each "Poor" rating got 0 points, each "good" got 1 point, and each "excellent" got 2 points, for a total of 20 possible points. We no longer use the scoring tool and, in the interest of time, have switched to a more subjective star rating. We only have sites that score 3 stars and above (good, better, best).

Need some clarification? Oregon Public Education Network has an online scoring tool that makes it crystal clear! It's the same form we used to use pretty much.
