Abstract:

Today the use of websites in the field of education has become an indispensable reference for both students and teachers, since at any moment they can find information about courses, calendar of classes and seminars, ratings of tests, etc.. It also seems essential to be able to access information quickly and with minimal effort ─for example using the so-called breadcrumb─ and thus maximize the benefits of an online service.

In this article we analyze the main elements and qualities necessary for the websites used in postgraduate studies provide easy accessibility and the user (student or teacher) has all required information in an efficient manner. In particular, we perform a comparison of a number of websites for Drawing Masters currently offered at universities in different countries (Spain, France, Germany, USA, and Argentina) in order to find those elements that can improve the distribution of content and readability of the websites.
