Interactivity:
Interactive features, such as dynamic feedback based
on user input is provided and add value to the site.
For a WebWatchers' evaluation, we define interactivity
as a different construct than inquiry learning addressed
in the NSES. We are evaluating the interactivity of
the page in the following area:
- Content that provides
the manipulation of data sets and simulations
to see the relationship between variables (temperature-volume-pressure
on a gas, height-velocity-mass on a falling object).
Should you wish to evaluate
the web page regarding the level of inquiry learning
it provides, please refer to the Inquiry
rubric.

- Authority:
Information presented is reliable, valid, and
authoritative
- Design
(overall): In addition to being educational,
the materials are visually appealing and/or entertaining.
- Interactivity:
Interactive features, such as dynamic feedback
based on user manipulation, is provided and add
value to the site. Content provides the manipulation
of data sets and simulations
- Communication/Collaboration:
Content allows communication/data exchange between
content providers and students, as well as between
distributed students via the Internet.
- Scientific
Inquiry: To what extent does the content,
presentation method, and learner activity facilitate
inquiry-based learning -- supported with real
world examples
- How
Scientist Work/Nature of Scientific Inquiry:
How students learn about what scientists do in
the process of inquiry
- Quality
of Writing: Instructional and explanatory
text is well written.
- Resource
Integration: The Web page is easily
implemented, adds value to pre-existing resources,
and is articulated to the Standards.
