Description of the website
The website we chose is from British council. It provides different kinds of learners/users with a wide range of activities. As our target groups are upper Primary school students to junior Secondary school students, we only evaluate the resources for children from the website. There are games, songs, stories, writing practice and lots of activities available for the children.
Practical criteria
The evaluation criteria we apply for evaluating the practicality of the website are language use, time and classroom management.
Pedagogical criteria
There are five pedagogical criteria which we use to evaluate the website. They are comprehensible inputs, opportunities for output, feedback, motivation and learners’ needs.
Technical criteria:
There are four technical criteria for the evaluation of the web site, including appearance, media use, structure and function and help options.
Is it necessary for us to state the operational description, learner fit and teacher fit approaches for all the criteria?

Hi there,
This seems to be a sound approach on the whole. It would be good if you could say where you got the ideas from (some of it seems to have come from Chapelle, but I could be wrong?).
Can you provide us with a link to the website here?
It seems to me that the categories 'operational description', 'learner fit' and 'teacher fit' overlap with your other categories - practical criteria, pedagogical criteria, technical criteria. However what does seem to be missing from your plan is a description of how the website could be used in a particular practical context, with a given activity. Hope that helps.
Just to clarify - when I say the categories overlap, I don't see that as a problem. In answer to your question, I don't think you need to apply Hubbard's criteria to all of your own categories, as long as your own categories are thorough enough. Make sense?
