Website Overview ideas
Senior school
home page
1. Student log on – we
would not be collecting
any information on
students, this would solely
be to allow them to keep
scores and collect
bonuses every time they
return to the site thereby
encouraging them to
return
2. High ranking scores –
on the home page we
could have a section of
high ranking scores, either
by individual visitor or by
country. This would add a
competitive feel to the
website and encourage
visitors to return.
3. A thermal map of
Europe showing how
many people are online at
that particular time point
4. FASCINATING FACTS
- a bank of 104 fascinating
facts that would change
on a weekly basis
allowing 2 years worth of
facts
Create your
own avatar
Students could create their own avatar to guide them through the various sections
of the website, this avatar could potentially remind them of areas they have yet to
visit, give them updates on how they can earn more bonuses and tell them when
they have got answers wrong in the quiz or revision sections.
Downloads SEM and EM photographs of various microbes and all pack artwork available for
download
Revision guide a set of interactive pages on each of the e-Bug topics for students. Students would
be given the information in text and this would be followed up by an interactive
activity
Hall of Fame A photograph or cartoon drawing hall of fame of people in history who have made
a positive contribution to science with background information and some
interesting facts to make them more human
Quiz
a large bank of questions (perhaps 200) meaning that every time a student visits
the website they get asked a different 20 questions. When they get a question
wrong they would be given correct answer and an explanation by their avatar. The
more they get right the higher their bonus bank would become.
Games this is where you would connect to the e-Bug junior and senior games and any
other games that may be developed in the future
Disease fact
files a set of fact cards on infectious diseases relevant to students
Home science A set of activities that students could do at home to teach science e.g. Hand
hygiene pepper activity
Campaigns Facilities to provide information on European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD) or
Global hand washing day (GHD).
