Abstract

In contrast to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) where the technical usability is the main issue when designing a software system, Web-based educational systems have a broader context. They must incorporate both technical and pedagogical usability issues in order to support the learning process. This because learning cannot be approached as a conventional task with a number of technical problems to be solved and various inputs and outputs to be produced. This paper reports on and evaluates the technical and pedagogical usability of a Web-based educational system used to support the learning of Internet programming.
