7.1 Design 7 PRACTICAL EVALUATION<br />

One goal <strong>of</strong> the practical evaluation was to gain information about the link-<br />

ing and possible drawbacks.<br />

• EM-layer<br />

The practical evaluation <strong>of</strong> the HEAT should also provide some information<br />

about the usability <strong>of</strong> the designed EM-layer and the management <strong>of</strong> EMs<br />

in the HEAT.<br />

• Presentation <strong>of</strong> material<br />

The presentation <strong>of</strong> the produced material in a web browser had to be eval-<br />

uated during the practical evaluation <strong>of</strong> the HEAT to get some insights into<br />

the quality <strong>of</strong> the material.<br />

• Ease <strong>of</strong> authoring<br />

The ease <strong>of</strong> material conversion or <strong>of</strong> the creation <strong>of</strong> new educational mate-<br />

rial with the HEAT is important for this project. Especially for non-technical<br />

experts as defined in chapter 2 and 3 it is crucial to have an easy to use au-<br />

thoring system.<br />

Therefore, it was an important goal <strong>of</strong> the practical evaluation to gain infor-<br />

mation about the ease <strong>of</strong> authoring <strong>of</strong> educational material with the HEAT.<br />

• Author’s expertise in the domain<br />

It had to be determined if the author’s expertise in the authored material<br />

influences the production <strong>of</strong> the educational material with the EM.<br />

• General insights<br />

Additionally, any other issues concerning the HEAT or the EFTECS that<br />

came up during the practical evaluation are analysed accordingly.<br />

The results <strong>of</strong> the practical evaluation will now be introduced in 7.2 and 7.3. Fi-<br />

nally, a summary <strong>of</strong> the evaluation results will be given in 7.4.<br />
