Evaluating and user testing online resources 15
September
Weston Park Museum, Sheffield S10 2TP
Time: 1000 – 1630
Who the day is for: Anyone involved in the creation of learning
content for museums, libraries or archives
Evaluation and user testing of e-learning resources are critical for
their success but do we always spend enough time and effort on getting this
right? This day (aimed at a basic level) will offer examples of good practice
in this area as well as practical advice on how to evaluate and user-test
effectively.
