Usability Heuristics Evaluation for Child E-learning Applications

Selecting Usability Evaluation Methods (UEMs) to expose usability problems in e-learning programs is influenced by time, cost, ease of application, and efficiency. Heuristic evaluation has become a widely accepted method of usability evaluation in software development. This paper introduces Heuristic Evaluation for Child E-learning applications (HECE), a comprehensive set of heuristics for child e-learning along with a detailed explanation for the usability experts on how to apply them. These sets of heuristics are based on Nielsen's original ten heuristics developed for software.
