EDU Checkup: Boston University, Indiana University Northwest

This week on EDU Checkup I reviewed wo sites. The first Boston University – Dean of Students got my style vote because of its clean design and use of space. They didn’t try to bombard the user with information but let the users eyes rest and give them a clear direction to click.

The second site Indiana University Northwest didn’t fare so well. Overloading the user with links on the homepage, making it difficult to find program information and overall confusing the end user. Not to mention the homepage shows code or background information right in the main center for the first 30 seconds a user is on the site.

I still have a huge backlog of sites by request and they are on my list for next week.

    I’d like to see your opinion of Stony Brook University’s admissions section: http://www.stonybrook.edu I work with our International Students and we get mixed reviews of ease and difficulty to find everything. If you have some time in the future to check it out that would be great!

    Lisa,
    Not a problem! All you have to do is submit it at this site: http://educheckup.com/suggest-a-site/

    My backlog is a little large right now but I will get to it.

    Thank you again for watching and keep up the rock star work!
