摘要
As the amount and variety of interactive educational software grows, so does the need to assess the usability of the software. The usability of educational software can be defined as the extent to which the software can be used to achieve specified learning outcomes effectively, efficiently and with user satisfaction. This paper discusses the evaluation of the usability of interactive educational software and proposes a method for formal usability testing of such software that has been successfully used at the University of Port Elizabeth (UPE). After describing the method, it presents a case study to illustrate the implementation of the proposed method.
