Comments about COE Online News by judges in the CASE awards contest:

  • Nice presentation, photos and navigation
  • Excellent synthesis of internal and external contributions. Well-edited. Search tool is nice, but an archive would improve the publication.
  • Very good stories and writing, some minor editing needed for typos. Print-oriented format could take advantage of links to eliminate the long scrolling page. Good photos and interesting content.
  • Too many randomly broken images. Otherwise a good design.
  • Top of page has nice design and use of graphics. Page is too long with too much content on front page. Very busy front page. Content is good.
