This is a report on the performance and usability of my e-learning web site, developed for my Diploma of e-Learning.

My e-learning web site


Presenter

Presentation Notes

This was the starting design of my multimedia tutorials web page

(Generated using Dr. Watson’s link checking page - http://watson.addy.com/)

All pages are estimated to take more than 10 seconds to download over a 28 kbps modem, with the longest being SequenceB3.html at 79 seconds.

Presentation Notes

The Dr Watson link checking web site was used to test the download times for each of the pages. All pages are estimated to take more than 10 seconds to download over a 28 kbps modem, with the longest being SequenceB3.html at 79 seconds. This page has an animated gif which is quite large.

Access will be either:a) At work via TBIT’s administration

networkb) From home with a recommended

broadband internet connectionc) On a TBIT laptop with a locally

installed copy of the tutorials

Presentation Notes

However, this should not cause a problem as it is expected these tutorials will be used by staff either: at work via TBIT’s administration network which provides a very high speed connection from home with a recommended broadband internet connection on a laptop with a locally installed copy of the tutorials

3 guinea pigs tested the site:

General observations1. What is the first thing you notice on the site?2. Which items on the page do you think are

clickable?3. What do you expect to find behind a link?

Activities1. How do you set the automatic focus on the

Colleen suggested I add a Voki animation instead of this swap image I had drawn...
