The unique nature of such applications calls for different methods for evaluating their usability. This paper presents the application and refinement of the framework for usability testing of interactive e-learning applications proposed by Masemola & de Villiers. In a pioneering usability testing study, researchers investigate the effectiveness of the think-aloud method when combined with co-discovery testing.enComputer-aided instructionCAIUsability testingE-learningCo-discovery testingThink-aloud methodSoftware application2009 Annual Conference of the Southern African Computer Lecturers' AssociationHuman factorsUsability testing of e-learning: an approach incorporating co-discovery and think-aloudConference PresentationAdebesin, T., De Villiers, M., & Ssemugabi, S.
