Usability, the key to quality e-learning.

With the beta release we have done ok on usability given that it is the first public release of the Brain Power Math Application. I think the student tool is more user friendly than the teacher tool. This was always likely to be the case given that the student tool is less complicated and has less options for the user.

Like all software a lot can be improved. As a result, we will be using the state of the art facilities at the National E-learning Lab in Dublin Ireland to conduct usability tests on the software in a scientific environment. This will help to improve the usability and therefore make your experiejavascript:void(0)nce more pleasant.

As you know, the usability factor is key to successful e-learning software. The goal is to make the user forget they are using software and allow for the seamless transfer of learning from screen to student.

Please comment on Brain Power Math and help improve the user experience of the software.
