Arab Culture and Civilization

摘要

Arab Culture and Civilization was designed to help the world learn more about the Arab world. Originally sponsored by the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE), it lost funding in 2007. Since then, the content of the site has not been updated. However, the Middle East Policy Council has taken over the upkeep of the site so that it will remain online. When the site is first accessed, the user is taken to the introduction page. The Arab Culture and Civilization banner is at the top of the page, and navigation links are on the right. The website seems to have been designed to go simply from page to page, with no jumping around. The intention seems to be that users go from the introduction page to the about page, continuously learning about each topic in more depth. This style of website is outdated, but considering the site has not been revised since 2007 is understandable, making navigation awkward at times.
