Evaluation of Web Based Behavioral Interventions Using Spoken Tutorials

Abstract

The clumsy and the inconsistent web interface of spoken-tutorial.org impedes its use by creators, reviewers, users and workshop organisers. Based on the analytics, such as the traversal paths taken by the learner to access the content and the duration of time spent, and the informal feedback, we have created a new integrated interface for the spoken tutorials. Cluster analysis of usability studies conducted on 82 engineering college students has confirmed that the new interface addresses the shortcomings of the old interface. The results also indicate that computer experience is a key factor that influences their preference towards e-learning interfaces as investigated through learner behavioral interventions.
