Evaluating the Web?

write an annotation for the source which could communicate to a reader both your 'judgement' of the site according to what you have learnt from the tutorial, and also the following information:

-the reliability and authority of the site / source / article
-the main ideas or subjects discussed in the article
-the purpose for which the site was written (this might include any apparent external interest, intellectual motivation or contextual information)


LOG ENTRY:Record your annotation in your learning log.


I chosed this web site (as display below) to Evaluate it.

1- Reliability

- Four weeks long experiment comparing two collaboratus with Microsoft word.
- Writers have an information systems background.
- Have constructed a hypothesis to start investigation therefore can be tested.


2-Researching collaborative writing tools compared to other writing tools (predominantly in Microsoft word), for internet – based writing teams, and to consider the effects of these tools on the success of the writing team.


3- The site would be written for internet based writing teams wanting to improve their co-ordination and awareness within the group, who may currently be using a word writing tool.
It would also, presumably, provide further motivation for teams already utilizing collaborative writing tools. The article was updated in 2008
