Khan Academy uses a neutral color scheme with ample white space and bright graphics to draw attention. It has a large, centrally located search bar for easily searching their entire database or by subject. Content is well-organized by discipline and further broken down by specifics, with exercises located quickly. MERLOT's busy color scheme blends colors together and lacks sufficient white space. The search box is small and hidden, and over-classified search options make finding content difficult. Organization is confusing with too many category options and disciplines not broken down into individual subjects.
