Testing A Component For Learning Mathematics With Users
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The usability and accessibility are considered two major attributes in designing of necessary software for computer assisted learning through assistive technology (for disabled). Assessed separately, most evaluations are the result of researches in usability, which are addressed to all, while for people with disabilities, especially visual, the accessibility is a priority. The strong connection between accessibility and usability is based on the needs of users in achieving some clearly defined objectives so the accessibility of software products should be considered in terms of their use by people with disabilities. The paper aims to present the result of researches conducted in two centers of education for people with visual disabilities, concerning the assessment of software for learning math, according to its accessibility and usability features.
