Heuristic Evaluation

I chose to evaluate the NSW Department of Education's Curriculum Support Website


Effectiveness: This site is well set out and can be navigated effectively. Areas of curriculum are set out using easy to follow tabs and links.
Efficiency:Downloads are fast, all links work as long as you are connected through the det portal.
Satisfaction:High satisfaction was experienced. The site is easy to manoeuvre, intuitive and learning objects and information were quickly downloaded when required.
