Activity 5: The web survey• Has to be designed

• How do you “measure” a web site

• What could it have

• To satisfy users• from within the country • and from outside

• For the international examples on this course• everything was accessible on the web sites• We just needed to ask permission to use it

• Could that be done for training courses in your country

• Are the local data and reports equally accessible?
