This week EDU Checkup started out with “B” ratings across the board, luckily Alaska Pacific University broke that trend. Don’t let the “B” score  fool you, all the sites had their individual strengths and weaknesses. Some were great in design but lacked information, others had great information but lacked visual appeal. Can you guess which ones?

Two changes were made to the EDU Checkup Web site this week. First the improved episode archive page which now includes links to all the past episodes on one page with an overview of their score. It is just a first step, I’m planning on making the page searchable and sortable. With over 50 episodes already the page needs to be usable (thanks to everyone for your suggestions). The second change is the addition of the “Most Popular” list on the right column, this will be updated once a week with the most popular episodes of all time.

Here is a list of the sites reviewed this week

• University of Michigan (B)
• Eastern Mennonite University (B)
• Northern Virginia Community College (B)
• Alaska Pacific University (C-)

Stay tuned to the @educheckup twitter account and RSS feed for more site updated in the coming weeks. Also if you have not subscribed to the iTunes feed yet its a great way to get new episodes automatically.
