Abstract

"The goals of this project were to: a) carry out the evaluation of a learning system for teaching Civil Engineering students to use Geographic Information Systems software within the context of relevant problems and b) explore the efficacy of iterative usability testing as a tool for development of learning technologies. A series of three usability tests were conducted based on an initial proposed design of the learning system"--Abstract, page iii.
