The purpose of this study was to develop a psychometric questionnaire in order to evaluate the educational web site "Youth 2004" considering the attitudes and the perceptions of Greek Australian students. In addition, the differences among the age and sex were also investigated. Participants were 317 Greek Australian students, between the ages from 12-17 years old. Data was collected using an online survey. Results from the factor analysis yielded five factors accounting for 69.5% of the variance. Independent-samples t test analysis revealed significant differences between the two age groups, in the case of four factors: "suitable for audience", "appropriateness of information`s web format", "easy to direct and be oriented" and "interaction and feedback". In the four factors above the younger children reported better results. In conclusion the student feedback from the questionnaires indicated a general level of satisfaction and contentment with this particular web site. The scale developed in the present study can be a useful tool for the evaluation of other relative web sites by web developers.
