While researchers have studied the use and value of educational software for many years, study of school Web sites and/or their effectiveness is limited. In this investigation, we identified goals and functions of school Web sites and used the foundations of effective Web site design to develop an evaluation checklist. We then applied these criteria to a random sample of Web sites to identify t...

Low cost carriers (LCCs) market their flights as low cost and so, aim to garner as much additional revenue as possible from ancillary services such as baggage and priority boarding. The airlines therefore encourage purchase of these services by their customers. As a result of this and other practices by airlines, the European Union has introduced legislation to deal with various areas of concer...

The systematic evaluation of Web design guidelines poses a series of challenges, including the ability to accurately interpret them and to transform them into a mechanized way that is machine processable. Systematic or automatic evaluation is particularly useful when the web site to evaluate across the designated guidelines is a large-scale, information-rich, potentially distributed web site (v...

Many sites are created by people who lack professional training in web design. We present ‘SiteGuide’, a tool that helps amateur web designers to decide which information will be included in a new web site and how the information will be organized. SiteGuide takes as input URLs of web sites from the same domain as the site the user wants to create. It automatically searches the pages of these e...

The O2O business model is booming, but there are still gaps in the field, especially on O2O website design, performance and the influence factors. We identified the top 10 performance influence factors through the qualitative method based on literature research and interviews, and the deep logic of the top 10 influence factors were analyzed with the interpretative structure model. Finally, we b...

This paper discusses the authors’ interest in effects of culture on website design in two cultures and on the evaluation of teaching in three cultures. We obviously thought the influence of culture important enough in these two very different contexts to warrant our consideration and investigation. In the case of website design, the intention was to discover any differences that can be attribut...

Disability policies target a large and heterogeneous group of persons. According to an OECD study in the twenty countries studied, on average about 14% of the working-age population classify themselves as disabled. About one-third of the group of working-age disabled people are severely disabled. Persons with congenital disabilities form a minority of usually less than 10% of the entire group o...

Today Web-related software development seems to be faced with a crisis not unlike the one that occurred a generation ago when in the 70s computer hardware experienced an order of magnitude increase in computational power. While this made possible the implementation of a new class of applications larger both in size and complexity, the methods for software development available at that time were...
