Botturi, Luca Dimitrova, Vania Matravers, Julika Tebb, Chris Withworth, Drew Geldermann, Jutta Hubert, Isabelle 2005 The Edukalibre development approach described here offers libre educational tools based on open development model. The paper presents a development-oriented evaluation approach comprising three phases. Phase 1 focused on rapid and distributed usability inspections producing development-oriented feedback for designers, and was built around a usability inspection framework. Phase 2 was conducted through student feedback, and confirmed the results of Phase 1, along with indications about the reasons behind some issues and about the actual use of the system. Phase 3 was aimed at a broader holistic evaluation that considers the views that developers and other parties have of the system. The evaluation approach proposed in this paper was applied to two eLearning tools – ConDOR and GISMO - and the results so far have provided fast and constructive feedback into the next round of development. This paper arose from the recognition that a lot more work is required to address the issue of suitable and complete evaluation for libre software development for education. The evaluation approach proposed here offers a significant step towards addressing these emerging needs. application/pdf https://n2t.net/ark:/12658/srd1317958 https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/317958 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/317958/files/1_2005_edmedia_MileEdukalibre.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1317958 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Proceedings of EDMEDIA 2005, Montreal, Canada. - 2005, vol. 1, no. 1104 Elearning Open source Evaluation Usability info:eu-repo/classification/udc/37 Development-oriented elearning tool evaluation : the Edukalibre approach http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_5794
