Practical 8 and 9

I am suppose to start on evaluation of internet resource for my part 2 of the portfolio a few days ago but i have just complete the part 1 of the portfolio after i changed my discuss topic. But anyway, i have found 1 website which i wanted to evaluate. By understanding what evaluation of internet resource is about, i believe i will not have much difficulties on working on the part 2 of the portfolio.

There are 9 criteria to follow when evaluating the internet resource. We will have to look into the purpose, coverage, authority, accuracy, currency, accessibility, presentation & arrangement, usability and overall.

Anyway, we are suppose to find a multimedia website for our dream holiday. I suppose some heard of the five stars tour? They provide tour packages to the country i wanted to go which is Taiwan!

The main page of their website.

The packages they provided, pictures and names of the countries.

The number of days in the packages and place to go.

The detailed information on each day of activities and place going to visit.

The evaluation criteria i used to evaluate the website is authority, presentation and arrangement. I will of course have to know whether is this website reliable and have a certain reputation. Since the website is about tours, presentation and arrangement of photos will have to clear and attractive to catch the audience attention. Information given on that country and the activities planned will have to present in a understandable way for the users too. When the audience gets the juice of it, they will think of going down to ask for further details and information about their tour to a certain country.

Anyway, why i want to choose to go to Taiwan? Perhaps is due to the influence of watching too much Taiwan idol dramas? I have always wanted to try the hot spring which i only see it on tv shows. My brother went to Taiwan before and he really enjoyed himself. I believe it will be a great trip if its not a dream holiday.
