摘要
The design-based research (DBR) approacH has emerged as a usability testing strategy for e-learning material for new employee training. DBR is a research methodology and is known as design experiment. It is defined as an emerging paradigm for the study of learning in content through the systematic design and instructional strategy and tools. The approach's purpose is used to avoid invoking mistaken identification with experimental design with the study of designers or with the trail of teaching methods. The DBR approach is an iterative cycle of multiple steps, including design exploration, interventions enactment, outcome evaluation, and analysis and redesign. Usability testing included three stages where it introduces users to the usability testing lab and testing procedure and conducts task analysis.
