Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW) has been heralded as a significant opportunity to deliver successful tele-educational courseware and learning experiences. Because of its ease of use, the WWW has caught the imagination of many groups of people including educators. However, the instructors who develop educational experiences are rarely very skilled in interface design. This paper proposes an automated, third party WWW based evaluation service which focuses on usability issues of WWW based courseware and which can be used by any WWW course instructor/student. This paper researches the design, development and trialling of a WWW based evaluation service for WWW courseware. The paper then describes the facilities implemented by such a web based evaluation service and presents the results of employing this evaluation service twice on a subsection of an already proven WWW based courseware system and then once on an entire courseware offering. The paper concludes with an assessment of the benefits of using such an evaluation service to improve WWW based courseware.
