EDU Checkup: Langara College, Everett Community College

Posted by Nick DeNardis on Jan 29, 2012 • (0 Comments)

The two sites this week gave us insights in to the two ends of the higher ed Web. The first, Langara College had a different layout than I have ever seen before. The site felt ultra modern in the layout, typography and choice of colors. The homepage only presented the important items, if it wasn’t [...]

EDU Checkup: University of Northern Iowa, Texas State Technical School

Wrapping up another week with two site reviews and a lot of insight. The first site, University of Northern Iowa looks like it came out of 2005.

EDU Checkup: University of Maryland University College, Bridgewater College

Wrapping up this week on EDU Checkup I first reviewed University of Maryland University College and was presently surprised to see some features that I have never encountered before on a highered website.

EDU Checkup: Northern Michigan University, Columbia University

This week both sites reviewed recently launched a redesign, so recent that some of their pages still don’t reflect the new look. The first site, Columbia University – College of Physicians and Surgeons, started out strong with a clean structured homepage but went down hill quickly. The homepage has four completely different menus in the header [...]

EDU Checkup: Stevens-Henager College, Baylor University

The two sites this week started off on rocky ground. Baylor University had all the right intentions but they fell flat in every category. Looking for a list of majors kept bringing me to a page that listed each school/college and center. It took some active digging just to figure out what they offer. Once [...]
