Introduction

I will be evaluating a variety of online resources relating to Automotive lighting systems. The context of the evaluation will be from general, student and teacher perspectives. I will provide the link to the source, an evaluation of the information provided and an opinion of the benefits of using the resource. The evaluation will be based on but not limited to the following criteria.

• Why the resource would be used
• From what literature/notes is it based from
• Is it consistent with current teaching models
• Is it appropriate for the learners
• The usability of the resource
• The purpose that the resource was made available
• Who is the resource aimed at
• Who created the resource & is it sponsored
• How current is the resource
• Is the resource accurate, reliable, original or copy
• How in depth is the coverage of information
• If/how the resource was recommended

As a supplementary evaluation i will be allocating scores for each resource against the following criteria that i feel relevant to the teaching context.

1. Engagement of the resource.
2. Usability of the resource.
3. Depth/appropriateness of the resource.
4. Currency of the resource.
5. Consistency with current teaching models/practices.

The scores given will be on a scale from 1* (Poor) through to 5***** (Excellent). I will also give a total at then end of the evaluation.
