COMPLETE PHASE I - Needs Assessment

I.     Needs Assessment: In this step, you’ll do the following:

- Explain all of the possible audiences for this webpage.
- Describe the ideal relationship between the content of the page and the expected audiences.
- Explain in 1-3 sentences what this webpage ideally should do and communicate. What information should the user be met with and leave with?
- Evaluate the existing content of the page and compare it to what you understand as best practices and the goal of the page – culled from your book, your own experiences, and other resources.
- You’ll look carefully for assets and liabilities. Assets are things the webpage is doing well. Liabilities are the opposite: things detrimental to the user’s experience.
- This can be written in any number for formats -- a memo, a report, a letter, or even an e-mail -- but your audience should be the director of your academic program.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

For the Needs Assessment, you will be evaluated on:

- Quality and appropriateness of your statement of purpose.
- Depth and precision of your critiques (citing specific examples of assets and liabilities).
