A conceptual framework for assessing universities websites within gulf region


Ashraf M. Badawood

The aim of this document is to review literature and evaluate the websites of universities situated in the Gulf region, with respect to student, teaching staff and management. Secondly, having a complete structure of such important points in place, aids in evaluating website through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Data was retrieved from Web of knowledge and other relevant source. Subsequent to scrutiny of research papers, all the appropriate data was obtained from these papers and articles to find a common aspect that justified the focal point of this research. The arbitrating variable was then studied independently with respect to the knowledge available from secondary data sources. Subsequent to obtaining the facts, we incorporated and arranged the information into a methodical order for moving over to the analysis phase for plugging in the gaps found in the study. Literature illustrated that for academic institution website, there are four important elements i.e. design quality, content quality, content organization and user-friendly quality.

Keywords: Content quality, website evaluation, design quality, content organization, SLR, user interface
