Outline
Purpose.
The Jigsaw evaluation model.
The CIAO! framework for evaluation.
Example.
The evaluation process design.
Purpose
In their research, Jones and others of “Contexts for evaluating educational software” studied the difference between the software evaluation practices in the educational community and (human–computer interaction) community.
These differences were examined by looking at usability and learning and by considering the use of a particular framework for CAL (Computer Assisted Learning) evaluation.
The Jigsaw evaluation model
Purpose:
to measure the usability of software and its effects on learning and to increase the teachers' knowledge about the integration between those two variables.
Three main levels:
The first level concerned on four tasks: learning tasks, general learning tasks, application operational tasks and system operational tasks.
The Jigsaw evaluation model
Integration within the learning and operational tasks was focused on the second level of the Jigsaw evaluation model
The integration between the learning and operational tasks was represented by the third level of the model.
