This study evaluated the usability of three educational websites. Participants were fastest with FactMonster.com and more successful with FactMonster.com and EnchantedLearning.com than the InfoPlease.com Homework Center. None of the sites proved to be superior in terms of efficiency or satisfaction. Terminology, number and organization of links, location of information above the fold, and length of individual pages all influenced performance on the tasks. Older children (age 11) performed better on all sites than the younger children (age 7-8). Designers of K-12 educational sites should continue to conduct usability testing with a wide
range of children to insure ease of use for all students
