Evaluation and Observation

Content Quality

Rating:

Strengths:	This site offers examples of contemporary educational research projects and provides an updated perspective on specific areas of interest, including assessing historical understanding (Nazi Germany and the Holocaust) which is relevant to Cultural Diversity in education.
Concerns:	The content of the site at this time is limited in providing resources relevant to Cultural Diversity. It would seem that this site would be better placed in a different category, maybe Assessment and/or Educational Psychology since much of the research focuses on Multiple Intelligences Theory and the culture of work environments.

Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool

Rating:

Strengths:	The site could be introduced to graduate students for the purpose of exposure to contemporary research interests and efforts in cultural diversity. May also be appropriate for undergraduate students in preparing research papers in teaching historical understanding.
Concerns:	There is only one research project that directly relates to Cultural Diversity.

Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:

Strengths:	The site is easy to use and clearly provides a link to the webmaster with questions or concerns.
Concerns:	NONE
