For example, more use of interactive technologies such as, video, podcasts and blogs could have increased the interaction and depth of the site and the online exhibition.
However there are some informative and laudable sections to this site. One of these is the News section. This area shows how up-to-date the site is terms of announcements about the museum. This section also goes a long way to authenticating the site. While this is not extensive is it informative and provides the site with a sense of immediacy.
There are also other well - presented areas. The various ships are graphically impressive but, once again, the information provided is meager. The site does provide clear and extensive information on access to the museum and contact details. The Guided Tour section however is disappointing. One would have expected a detailed and visual tour of the museum, but this single page only refers one to...
While the site does succeed in presenting a brief and succinct overview of the story behind the boat, this is not sufficient and only wets the appetite. Possibly this is a marketing strategy as the site certainly succeeds as an inducement to visit the museum and gain more information. There is little doubt that this is useful site. It is well designed and the material is well presented and follows Web reading standards. On the negative side the site does not provide enough documentation and archival material to be categorized as a useful resource site of the serious historian. It does however function well as an introduction to the subject and the museum and can therefore be considered as an important reference site, both in terms of tourism and historical reference.

10 was written so that people could see the good in the Constitution and why it was so very important that it be ratified and accepted by all of the states in the U.S. Federalist Paper No. 10 (Madison, 1787) is an excellent primary source because it has been verified by scholars and historians throughout the ages, because it can be safely attributed to Madison as the author, and because
primary sources are documents that were written during the time under study, those that present facts or opinions from the primary source (e.g. author). They present an inside view of a particular event, but they may not always be 100% accurate since there is room for error or interpretation. Examples of primary sources are: diaries, speeches, interviews, official records, relics of art, creative works, etc. A secondary source, however,
The most superficial is the use of numbers, or lack thereof. Whereas quantitative research emphasizes the study of factors that can be explicitly measured, qualitative data is more descriptive. This has a couple of key implications. The first is that qualitative data is inherently more subjective. It is directly subject to interpretation from the researcher. Quantitative data can be interpreted by the researcher, but ultimately the data is presented
In 1960, this separation began to change. "Economists began to study voters as rational maximizers, politicians as entrepreneurs, and bureaucrats as suppliers in a market-like process of consumption, production and exchange. Political science has been profoundly affected by the outward thrust from economics, addressing as it has central issues in the discipline of political science" (p. 1173). Miller (1997) concludes that the most unambiguous benefit of economics on contemporary political
