摘要: Computer applications developed to support learning in the cognitive domains are quite different from commercial transaction processing applications. The unique nature of such calls for methods evaluating their usability. This paper presents application and refinement framework usability testing interactive e-learning proposed by Masemola & de Villiers [11]. In a pioneering study, we investigate effectiveness think-aloud method when combined with co-discovery testing.
