Page Structure
Writing for the Web is very different from writing for print
-
-
79% of users scan the page instead of reading word-for-word
-
Reading from computer screens is 25% slower than from paper
-
Web content should have 50% of the word count of its paper equivalent

Tips for creating your workspace pages (from Sun.com)
- Difference Between Paper and Online Presentation: Limit scrolling; use simple sentence structure; avoid cute headlines; update facts frequently.
- Scannability: Highlight keywords; use bulleted lists; start with the conclusion.
- Navigation: Move detailed info to secondary pages.
- Writing to Be Read: Headlines and subheads; lists, captions, and hyperlinks.
What does this mean for you? How should you structure information on the web to make it clear for your students.
