Week 8 - Website four
The fourth website I have looked at and criticised is one person opinions on “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants: Some Thoughts from the Generation Gap”. I found this quite an interesting read, as it incorporates theory with opinions of the author. The usability is fairly easy as it is just one page about digital immigrants, and it’s a simple scroll down page. There is a lot of text and virtually no images, which makes the layout slightly boring, but the content of the text itself is really interesting and relevant to the concept and the unit. One flaw is that the commentary was written 2003, so being 6 years old it is pretty dated, and newer more relevant information and theories are available.

This is better.
ReplyDeleteThe point is that if the site maintains that digital immigration/nativeness is a fact, then how does it reflect that in its construction and design?
Usability for Prensky is not the same as general usability is it? He has a notion that it's basically being 'game-like'.
