Evaluation Instrument - Traditional
The online form was a strength and the immediate feedback via email was also very organized and something that can be referred to later. Our instrument looked very clean and organized and was easy to use. I liked the comment boxes as I believe narratives to be very important.
A weakness of our instrument was that there was no place to actually put the evaluated website. I noticed this immediately and just added it in the comment box. There was no quantitative data piece involved which I felt was missing. There were some limitations to the amount of categories that could be included do to using the free version. With more room, I would have liked to include headings for each area.
Evaluation Instrument - Web 2.0
One strength was the ability to have quantitative data. This is an important piece when looking for a snapshot of an evaluation. The evaluative categories explored many aspects of a resource and were easy to understand.
After using the tool, I wish it would have been a spreadsheet to automatically calculate the user's score. Being able to put something like this online would have been helpful as well. While there are free options out there, limiting someone to using MS Word could be a hindrance. I also found that some of the narrative areas below were redundant. Lastly, using a likert scale instead of statements would have allowed for the instrument to be on less pages which I believe to be useful as well.
