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) chukua muda kidogo kusoma hapa 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. ASANTENI
