Abstract

We present the results of a heuristic analysis of a set of multimedia off-line systems aimed at boosting the mental skills of the users through reflexes, maths, etc. To this purpose two metrics have been created to assess the motivation of the users and the degree of help implicit in the multimedia system. The metrics are based on a group of primitives aiming at increasing the communicability of commercial multimedia systems and targeted to the public at large, regardless of age and previous experience in the use of computers.
