The challenge of measuring E-learning quality: some ideas from HCI

This paper discusses the concept of e-learning quality, critically reviews current practice in measuring e-learning quality and suggests several HumanComputer Interaction (HCI) methods that can be used to measure the usability of e-learning. Usability evaluation and user-centred design are seen as essential to ensure e-learning quality. Several of these methods were used to evaluate the quality of a web design tutorial developed at the University of Port Elizabeth (UPE).
