1. Consistency is the golden rule of interface design and way finding!

2. Clear Navigation aids are important. Users should always be able to return easily to your home page and to other major navigation points in the site!

3. Users quickly adapt to content navigation within either the left column or far-right column of web pages—just be consistent in how you lay out your navigation on all pages. Left navigation columns are much more common and therefore have an edge in usability because all web users are familiar with them

1. Transitions should be smooth and similar

2. Don’t use auto play when you embed videos

3. Less text is better! Use graphics to keep peoples attentsion

The University Career Website is fabulous! It has everything you need for a transition out of university. I was amazed at all the resources available to students and the external links they provide. They have courses on how to develop your profession portfolio as well as availability of making one-on-one appointments for personal questions. They also offer drop in session in case you have quick questions and are open through out the year. They have so many resources included assessments, fee schedules & resume tips so it might not even be necessary to drop it! You may be able to find it online! As an international student i thought it was great that they have an International student job search tab! This was particularly important to me because as an international student it can become difficult feeling alone when you’re looking for jobs and don’t have sufficient paperwork for employment! I would 100% recommend all students to look at the website and keep up with their workshops! The internships are based on year level which is great because you can be placed with people who have similar career aspirations. Did i forget to mention its all FREE!?!?!

I am very familiar with citation as I went to a very strict Highschool So I’ve been using both MLA and APA format for a few years now. I did learn that medical personal her their own way of citation. I also learned that GSU has their own citation builder website which is very helpful although I use another source.

I never knew that it was good netiquette to leave a group that doesnt interest you. Im in many groups that ive been invited to and thought it was rude to leave so i just muted the news feeds and updates. Glad to know its finally appropriate to go delete myself!!

www.justfacts.com

Currency: NO information indicated on dates. No current news appeared that happened within last 72 hours.

Relevance:. Nothing seemed relevant.

Authority: Although there is a specify tab about standards of credibility, I don’t believe the site is very credible. Does not state who wrote all article and there is no tag to compare articles of similar information. Additional websites claims 100% transparency from raw date uncited sources. How credible could that be?!?!

Accuracy: Information is not current. Website has poor layout and is hard to navigate around.

Purpose: Just Facts Daily is a website dedicated to providing crisp, factual analyses of recent news and current events. we publish extensive research on major policy issues, but at justfactsdaily.com, we sort fact from fiction among the constant torrent of news reports, commentaries, and political pronouncements.

Google just happens to be my meta-search engine of choice. I swear I go to google for everything!  I was surprised to see wikipedia as a common between all three. I thought I would find more information about flights to and from Bermuda although only jetblue was advertised. I never use bing, but thought it appeared to be quiet reliable as the information given was legitimate. The gotobermuda – the official tourism site appeared on all three websites. I assumed that would be the #1 hit for engine although it was not. Google was ideal to me as it had relevant news – which is important to me. Although wikitravel was on bing which I have never heard of before. Yahoo seemed to be generated by advertisement as both hotels and flight information was top searches.

1. Be aware of deadlines & meet them!

– Some might find it helpful to even make their own deadlines to hand in work early!

2. Its crucial that you maintain a reliable internet source at all times!

– Missing important information can jeopardize your learning & course outcome.

3. Make an action plan and stick to it!

– Do this in the beginning of the semester before your course load piles up!

– start when you have time to focus and make good goals that will aid your success and an online student!
