Dynamic Web Solutions is a web design and hosting company. Their website offers a number of Internet Tutorials and for the purpose of this exercise I have looked at the webpage for the tutorial for Newsgroups.
The Newsgroups tutorial offers information on the origins of newsgroups, what a newsgroup is and how they work. Information is given on the different types of newsgroups and tips on how to participate in them. This is a helpful tutorial for new users of newsgroups and would like some background knowledge of how they work.
The information provided on this webpage is consistent with information provided with information provided in Curtin University’s curriculum, giving support to its accuracy. This webpage was last updated on 24 September 2007, hence the information is current.
The webpage is neatly presented with clear readable text in well defined sections. The side toolbar provides links to similar tutorial webpages which are also uncluttered and consistently formatted.

Purdue University developed the OWL (Online Writing Lab) in 1994 as a depot for online instruction material. The intent of OWL was to provide an online library of information which could be accessed without the restriction of locational boundaries.
Stephanie Williams Hughes, and subsequent editors, has provided easy to understand tips for writing email and email related correspondence. These tips include the writing of emails, conversing, the sending of attachments, participation in email groups and email security. The webpage provides linkages to further information on writing techniques.
Within its curriculum, Curtin University has linked to the OWL Annotated Bibliographies webpage thus giving support to the accuracy of the information provided. The information provided is current as it is less than a year old, having been updated by Dana Lynn Driscoll in July 2007.
The webpage is neatly presented with clear readable text, well defined sections and hyperlinks that work.
