Category 1: Computing Services (Web) A computing organization's Web site provides users access to a wealth of information and services. In this category, judges will consider an academic computing organization's entire Web site. Judging will be based on overall graphic design and page/site layout, consistency throughout the site, ease of navigation, ease in finding both general and specific information, appropriateness and accuracy of information, and accessibility (both in speed and across platforms and browsers).

Judging will be based on design, approachability, quality of content, and visual appeal.   John Supra University of Southern California Information Services Division Mail Code 0251 University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-0251   Top of Page   Category 3a: How-to-Guides (Web) This category includes Web documents that are primarily procedural, and provide instructions for accomplishing computing tasks.

Most are one page or shorter including but not limited to bookmarks, magnets, and stickers. Judging will be based on ease of use, visual appeal, content. Teresa Leo University of Pennsylvania Information Systems and Computing University of Pennsylvania Sansom West, Suite 305 3650 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104   Top of Page   Category 5: Promotional Materials (Printed) Many schools are publishing information about special projects. One function of these publications is to increase the visibility of the projects in their home institution. Publications may combine this function with others; as long as more than half of the publication is project description, it is eligible for this category. A common focus is on collaborative projects between computing organizations and faculty to improve the use of technology in the classroom, but other foci are acceptable in this category. Judging will be based on design, content, effectiveness. Janet Sakell University of Virginia ITC-Carruthers Hall P.O. Box 9005 University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22906   Top of Page   Category 6: CD-ROMs This category is for CD-ROMs which contain software and instructions distributed by schools to their students, faculty and staff. Judging will be based on ease of installation, instructions, instruction booklet design.   Craig Kawahara University of Southern California University of Southern California 950 W. Jefferson Blvd. Los Angeles, Ca90089-0251   Top of Page Category 7: Best Use of Mixed Media (Printed and On-line) We are moving toward an environment where we publish bare-bones introductory information on paper and put everything else on the Web. There are some challenges to doing this well. What content do you choose for paper and what content do you save for the Web? What kinds of design elements do you use to tie the paper publication to the electronic publication? What audiences can be safely served with this kind of demarcation? In this category, judging will focus on how multi-media publications make best use of printed and Web tools to provide integrated information.   Teresa M.
