For this assignment you will need to design and carry out a small usability study that will test the usability of an educational technology (your choice) with a small group of target users. Just like in real life, you will work on this project with several partners.
This project will consist of two main components: a) usability study plan and b) usability study report. Both these projects will be submitted as papers.
We will do an interactive showcase of usability studies at the end of the course where you will have a chance to show what you have done, have your peers examine (and perhaps even use) some of your usability metrics, and discuss suggestions for improving the design of the educational technology that you evaluated.
For this assignment we conducted a usability study on a learning management platform.
