10. Africa World Uni Name Presence Impact Openness Excellence

11. Importance of WebometricsRanking • Aims to encourage greater adoption of online publications and open access to information. • Awards is based on how well they adopt modern research, teaching, and academic publishing methods and how easily this information is accessible online. • “visibility” of a university’s website where the assessors inspect the number of external visits it gets, takes 50% of the ranking points

12. Cont: • The other points come from an institution’s level of “activity,” taking into account the number of web pages hosted on the main site, the number of research repositories available and how many academic papers are published on acclaimed international journals. Web indicators are considered as proxies in the correct, comprehensive, deep evaluation of the university global performance, taking into account its activities and outputs and their relevance and impact. The objective is NOTto evaluate websites, their design or usability or the popularity of their contents according to the number of visits or visitors

13. Food for Thought The Web is key for the future of all the university missions, as it is already the most important scholarly communication tool, the future channel for the off-campus distance learning, the open forum for the community engagement and the universal showcase for attracting talent, funding and resources.
