Ida Holdt (25) and Magnus Tøndevold support Virtual Garden and WM Data in their savage review of UiO`s web pages.

- I was searching the web pages several times but was none the wiser. They were so boring that I decided to consult acquaintances about what modules that could be of interest, Tøndevold admits.

Students feel that the website is scaring off new students.

- The web pages do not need to be cool. But it is appalling that they are currently almost preventing students from applying, Holdt thinks.

Jan Gunnar Haugen is working with a project providing IT- solutions for the visually handicapped on behalf of the Norwegian Association of Blind People. UiO, UiB and NTNU all fail to meet his requirements for a user-friendly website to visually handicapped.
- The importance of the internet is only increasing. The internet has completely replaced the use of paper as means of distributing student information over the last eight years. The issue is to avoid being discriminated on an arena, which is getting ever-more important for the active student and citizen, Haugen says.
- Universities should be required to publish all information in a different format accustomed to visually handicapped. I would also have provided for some hidden links that can only be heard by means of speech synthesis, he says.
Haugen thinks that web pages should be so versatile that you easily could change colour, font and size. Furthermore, it should be possible to remove pictures without affecting the quality of the contents.
