Usability of an Open Space Class Location and Schedule Application

Abstract

Students are surrounded by technology, it helps them with their school tasks and their orientation. The trend of software systems is in creating natural user interfaces, that would be convenient to users that use them. We created an open laboratory at our department to analyze such interfaces. We created an application for this laboratory: Schedule, in which we display the information of class locations and lectures that are taking place. In this article we describe the methods we used to evaluate this application and try to present the results in a form that would be applicable to future applications used in the space of our open laboratory.
