abstract |
Squires (1999) discussed the gap between HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and the
educational computing communities in their very different approaches to evaluating
educational software. This paper revisits that issue in the context of evaluating
digital resources, focusing on two approaches to evaluation: an HCI and an educational
perspective. Squires and Preece's HCI evaluation model is a predictive model – it
helps teachers decide whether or not to use educational software – whilst our own
concern is in evaluating the use of learning technologies. It is suggested that in
part the different approaches of the two communities relate to the different focus
that each takes: in HCI the focus is typically on development and hence usability,
whilst in education the concern is with the learner and teacher use. In the paper
we consider a recent application of the CIAO! framework, developed at the Open University,
to evaluating digital resources. We compare this with an evaluation model by Dorward,
Reinke and Recker (2002): a recent approach from the HCI 'stable'. Interestingly,
there are several similarities and consistencies between these approaches and there
are also other recent indications that the communities may be drawing on each other's
work, in at least some areas. |
