Abstract

The new challenge for designers and Human Computer Interaction researchers is to develop software tools and applications for effective e-learning. Usability is one of the most important aspects of software applications. However, in practice, not much attention is given to this issue during testing. Evaluators often do not have the knowledge, instruments and/or time available to handle usability. The paper presents the results of empirical study of usability evaluation which was based on SUMI (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) questionnaires. The software application tested was a multilingual educational portal EducaNext.
