Educational Website Usability: Generic or Discipline-Specific?

Researchers at the Open University are conducting a survey of academic content specialists lecturers and website developers/designers involved in developing or providing content for educational websites. One of the questions they are seeking to answer is whether there are generic guidelines for the good design of educational websites or whether they depend on the discipline. If you have experience of developing an educational website please fill in the 15 minute questionnaire at http://elsa.open.ac.uk/usability.survey. The survey is being conducted by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme (Senior Lecturer in Educational Technology) and Lesley Shield (Senior Lecturer in Language Learning and Technology) at the Open University.
