Abstract

The CD-ROM "Essentials of Cell Biology" (ECB), a self-guided curriculum and reference program, was developed by Health and Environmental Resources for Educators program in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Washington for use by high-school students. This pilot study described here gathered information on the usability of ECB through formal usability observations of two 15-year-old participants as they used the program, and through post-test interviews. The pilot study also identified areas of concern that might be of interest to future researchers in testing adolescents. The developers of the CD-ROM used the findings from this study in their successful grant application to obtain additional funding to correct usability problems in the CD-ROM.
细胞生物学要点:高中生多媒体光盘科学课程的可用性测试
"细胞生物学要点"光盘(ECB)是一个自我指导的课程和参考方案,是由华盛顿大学环境卫生系的教育工作者保健和环境资源方案开发的,供高中生使用。本文描述的这项试点研究通过对两名15岁参与者使用该计划时的正式可用性观察,以及通过测试后访谈,收集了有关欧洲央行可用性的信息。试点研究还确定了未来研究人员在测试青少年时可能感兴趣的关注领域。CD-ROM的开发人员在他们成功的拨款申请中使用了这项研究的结果,以获得额外的资金来纠正CD-ROM中的可用性问题。
