Abstract

Nowadays impact assessment of websites based on web metrics has been growing, and is leading a new trend in quantitative analysis. Based on prior efforts in laying theoretical foundations, this study examined 44 provincial party members and cadres’ modern distance education websites in China. In order to look for a comprehensive impact measurement of modern distance education websites, the researcher collected the numbers of links and traffic data on each website. This study reported the following discoveries: 1) Website assessment methods based on link indexes or traffic indexes or Delphi expert scoring were effective. Web metrics based impact assessment was scientific to some extent and could be used to evaluate distance education websites.2) Affected by the statistical range and algorithm, there was a big difference between link index and traffic index ranking.3) The video shown held most of web pages in some party members and cadres’ distance education websites, which largely limited its influence on the internet. Based on these findings, this study thought that the lower-order websites should be strengthening the content of the network information resources and improving organization level of the internal information, so that visitors would have been got more useful information. At the end, this study discussed the ideal situation of impact assessment, possible study errors, and future work needed.
