Further Evaluationh of VLEs using HCI and Educational Metrics
Under consideration are the general set of Human computer Interaction (HCI)
and Educational principles from prominent authors in the field and the
construction of a system for evaluating Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)
with respect to the application of these HCI and Educational Principles. A
frequency analysis of principles is used to obtain the most significant set.
Metrics are devised to provide objective measures of these principles and a
consistent testing regime is introduced. These principles are used to analyse
the University VLE Blackboard. An open source VLE is also constructed with
similar content to Blackboard courses so that a systematic comparison can be
made. HCI and Educational metrics are determined for each VLE
