This Paper Presents a Research Model to Evaluate the Usability of Computer-Mediated Learning Technology, User Acceptance of the Technology, and the Effect of the Technology on Learning Outcomes. We Also Introduce the Use of Innovative Research Techniques for the Evaluation, Including Eye Tracking and Think-Aloud Protocol. Think-Aloud Protocol Allows Us to Understand a User's State of Mind While He/she is Interacting with the System. Eye Tracking Also Provides Additional Insights into a User's Cognitive State While using the System. Both Qualitative and Quantitative Data Can Be Collected Following the Research Model, Thus Providing More In-Depth Understanding on the Effect of …

A User-Centered Perspective On Information Technologies In Museums, Jessie Pallud
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
Information Technology (IT) has been put forth as a reasonable way to sustain visitor interest and encourage visit repetition in museums. Therefore, IT is becoming more common in museum settings and professionals express their need for more information about how their visitors interact with these systems. This dissertation is an attempt to answer this call. We propose three essays that deal with different aspects of museums and IT from a user-centered perspective. The first essay is an attempt to determine with a free simulation experiment how IT and more particularly websites can arouse interest for museological content. The second essay …

Does Web Site Usability Correlate With Web Site Usage?, Charles E. Downing, Chang Liu
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
This study compares usability ratings of Web sites, based on academic research, to actual usage data, from Nielsen Online. This is accomplished by consulting academic usability research, and using those guidelines to rate eight retail Web sites on usability. Then, this study uses “real world” data, the usage data from Nielsen Online, to longitudinally validate the academic findings. Results show that, over time, the calculated usability ratings move in the same direction and in the same magnitude as the usage data.

Usability Investigation Of E-Business Web-Based Forms, Gerald V. Post, Albert Kagan, Betsy Page Sigman
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Usability on Web sites is critical because almost no training is provided for users on commercial sites. Instead, Web design relies on standards and consistency across sites. Traditional usability results indicated that computer forms should follow paper-based forms. Yet, Web paradigms have evolved that are quite different from paper-based forms. Specifically, this study reveals that users commit fewer errors and prefer simple forms limited to a single concept per screen. This conclusion significantly alters the recommendations for designing business forms.
