habari wanajukwaa la elimu..
Kama ilivyo ada sisi wanataaluma huwa na tabia ya kujuzana juu ya mambo tofauti tofauti katika kada yetu ya elimu.
Leo ningependa kugusia suala hili la ranking ya vyuo vikuu. Kiukweli ni ngumu kuwesa kusema chuo hiki ni bora kuliko kingine ukizingatia masuala mazima ya ubora wa elimu, miundombinu, ufanisi wa wahitimu, kozi zifundishwazo n.k.
Aghalabu kumekuwa na uvutano na ubishi mwingi sana baina ya wanataaluma kuhisiana na hili.
Kifupi ni kwamba ranking ya vyuo ambavyo wengi tumekuwa tukiiona kwenye mitandao haiangalii ubora wa elimu itolewayo, ila umaarufu wa vyuo kwenye mtandao(web popularity)

4icu.org University Web Ranking
Methodology
Universities and Colleges are ranked by our
exclusive 4icu.org University Web Ranking.
The ranking has been published since May
2005. Since then the ranking methodology
has been periodically fine-tuned in order to
provide better results.
The current ranking is based upon an
algorithm including five unbiased and
independent web metrics extracted from
three different search engines:
Google Page Rank
Alexa Traffic Rank
Majestic Seo Referring Domains
Majestic Seo Citation Flow
Majestic Seo Trust Flow
Web metrics data are collected on the same
day to minimize temporal fluctuations and
maximize comparibility. A pre-computational
filter is adopted to detect outliers in the raw
data. Further investigation and a review of
Alexa Traffic Rank data is carried out for
universities adopting a subdomain (highly
not recommended) as their official
institutional home page.
Once filtered (outliers) and reviewed
(subdomains), web metrics data are
normalised to a scale of 0 to 100 taking into
consideration the logarithmic nature in
which both the Google Page Rank and the
Alexa Traffic Rank are expressed. The three
normalised values are aggregated based on
a weighted average algorithm which
generates the final score and web ranking.
The exact formula adopted to aggregate the
three web metrics is not disclosed for
copyright reasons and to minimise attempts
of manipulation from university webmasters
in order to achieve better rankings. The
same philosophy is adopted by Google with
regards to their search engine ranking
algorithm. Being the 4icu.org University
Web Ranking a non-academic ranking, the
need for ranking methodology transparency
and the ability of testing and reproducing
the results, as suggested by the Berlin
Principles on Ranking of Higher Education
Institutions , is less stringent than for
academic rankings.
The aim of this website is to provide an
approximate popularity ranking of world
Universities and Colleges based upon the
popularity of their websites. This is intended
to help international students and academic
staff to understand how popular a specific
University/College is in a foreign country.
We do not claim - by any means - to rank
organisations or their programs, by the
quality of education or level of services
provided. The 4icu.org University Web
Ranking is not an academic ranking and
should not be adopted as the main criteria
for selecting a higher education
organization where to study.
