Home Page Evaluation Instrument


This is an Alternative Home Page Evaluation Instrument Developed by one of our colleagues, Ken Janowiak.

I used it to evaluate his HCI home page, and he did the same to evaluate mine. It is a simple evaluation instrument compared to QUIS, but I found it very effective. I would encourage anyone to use it.

For further feedback to this instrument you can contact Ken or me (clifford@scis.nova.edu).
