Websites are often used in education or by students but are often judged on little more than the aesthetic aspects, others are  designed purely as sources of information.  Jose Gomez Galan, in Design of Educational Web Pages warns that many are based on the behaviourist model of teaching and often very pre-programmed and do not allow for creative thought process.  He recommends considering three basic points when assessing the educational value of a webpage

contents);

• Range of sources and languages
• Level of student interactivity
