Abstract

MapStats for Kids is concerned with the development of online learning activities based on data from the FedStats web portal. The development of these web applications requires that the tools will be useful and usable for students, grades 4-8. In order to assess web applications developed according to the above requirements a range of usability testing methods are being applied within the project.
