Heuristic Evaluation of Groupware
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 2001, Kevin Baker adapted the heuristic evaluation methodology to find usability problems in real-time, shared workspace groupware systems [1]. Real-time, shared workspace groupware systems support real-time collaboration between distance-separated people through a shared workspace – “a medium sized flat work surface where people collaborate by manipulating visible tools and task artefacts” [6]. Some examples of shared workspace groupware systems are shared editors and multi-player games.

Heuristic Evaluation of Groupware Based on the Mechanics of Collaboration
Despite the increasing availability of groupware, most systems are awkward and not widely used. While there are many reasons for this, a significant problem is that groupware is difficult to evaluate. In particular, there are no discount usability evaluation methodologies that can discover problems specific to teamwork. In this paper, we describe how we adapted Nielsen’s heuristic evaluation me...
متن کاملAdapting the Locales Framework for Heuristic Evaluation of Groupware
Heuristic evaluation is a rapid, cheap and effective way for identifying usability problems in single user systems. However, current heuristics do not provide guidance for discovering problems specific to groupware usability. In this paper, we take the Locales Framework and restate it as heuristics appropriate for evaluating groupware. These are: 1) Provide locales; 2) Provide awareness within ...
متن کاملA Study on User Interface Design of Knowledge Management Groupware in Selected Leading Organizations of Pakistan
Several techniques for evaluating a groupware interface have emerged in recent years. Though a groupware is considered to be difficult to evaluate, many researchers to date have attempted to uncover the usability problems of the interface using multiple evaluation methods or triangulation running parallel to each other. The aims of this paper are to compare the effectiveness of dual evaluation ...
متن کاملThe Mechanics of Collaboration: Developing Low Cost Usability Evaluation Methods for Shared Workspaces
We introduce a conceptual framework that articulates the mechanics of collaboration for sharedworkspace groupware: the low level actions and interactions that must be carried out to complete a task in a shared manner. These include communication, coordination, planning, monitoring, assistance, and protection. The framework also includes three general measures of these mechanics: effectiveness, ...
متن کاملTHE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Supporting Results Synthesis in Heuristic Evaluation by Donald Allan Cox A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE
This thesis defines results synthesis as a process and as an area of research within Heuristic Evaluation. Results synthesis is the process of creating a complete, coherent, and concise statement of the problems in an interface and their possible solutions from a collection of raw problem descriptions generated by a Heuristic Evaluation inspection. My research focuses on results synthesis as a ...
