KJB101 – Assessment 2, Website Analysis
Introduction
The websites that have been assessed are ones pertaining to Obesity in Australia. The three sites I have chosen are the Parliamentary Library, Kate Lundy’s Homepage and Measure Up. All information on the Authors is referred to on the checklist.
The Angle I am looking for with these sites relates to information regarding wether or not Obesity really is a problem in Australia and if so is there significant information to discover what to do if you are obese or at risk.
