摘要
The evaluation of computer software relies on the relationship between the characteristics of the software and the efficiency of its use. To find out which characteristics of the software can influence the level of acquired knowledge, an experiment was carried out with tenth grade students in Estonian schools. Fifty-four students studied 35 units from different multimedia textbooks. Correlation coefficients between the post-test score of the students and different characteristics of the textbooks were calculated. The correlation coefficients revealed five factor groups for the post-test score: text, presentation of information on the computer screen, graphics, navigation, and students' self-control.
