Usability stands for the utility of a product and aims at its acceptability
by the end users. Usability research attempts to implement scientific
findings into the development of software etc.
The seminar will elicit current approaches to usability in their suppositions
and heuristics. At the same time approaches to gender aspects in usability
research will be analysed. The seminar then will develop heuristics that
enable to explore usability of groupware, in respect of diverse user groups.
The social implications of current terms as efficiency, learnability,
user’s satisfaction that generally outline usability shall be questioned.
The developed heuristics will be tested to analyse and evaluate selected
groupware tools (and groupware functions on e-learning platforms). The
seminar’s results will be displayed in a multi-media presentation
that could serve as guideline for decision makers in university and enterprises.
