Personalized Learning Environment: Alpha Testing, Beta Testing & User Acceptance Test☆

Abstract With the evolution of computer technology, learning science can be improved with the help of multimedia tools in order to attract their attention and interest. Personalized Learning Environment for Nutrition (PLENut) is a multimedia prototype which is to increase student performance in learning Science subject using Personalized Learning Environment (PLE) approach. Unlike other form of conventional application which is using traditional methods, PLENut applied high quality, effective teaching and learning process. This paper reports the findings of Alpha, Beta Testing and User Acceptance Test. The results revealed the feedback from users about the development of prototype. In this study, the development process of the environment is examined according to the Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) model. In order to evaluate the application, it goes through a series of testing which are Alpha Testing, Beta Testing and User Acceptance Test. The study also can provide useful information for improving the quality of the teaching and learning experiences using PLE approach.
