Discussion 3 (1)


 

Visit three different websites: an e-commerce site of your choice, a non-profit site, and then a government website. For each site, assume you want to accomplish an e-commerce task: make a purchase, a donation, or perform a government-related task (apply for a job, pay taxes, pay a ticket, etc.). Compare your overall experiences on each site, and note how easy it is to accomplish the tasks:

  1.  How do these sites track purchases or donations as users navigate the site?
  2. Do all the sites use secure transmissions for e-commerce (https://)?
  3. What improvements would you recommend for these sites? 

Be sure to list the sites you visited and the type of task you tried to accomplish during your visit.

Share your answers to these prompts in your initial post. Then scan your classmates’ threads and reply to at least TWO classmates whose answers interest you most. In your reply, comment on what you like about his/her sharing. Further the discussion in a direction you deem appropriate.
