Proposal:

Evaluation of the OLPC with Usability Engineering

Name: Carlos Mauro Cardenas Fernandez

Email: unimauro@gmail.com

Blog: http:unimauiro.blogspot.com

My proposal is:

Making a comparative study of usability with the OLPC Sugar and WINDOWS. Through TEST usability in a marginal urban population of Lima, Peru. With a sample of 6 boys and 6 girls. With 1 test pilot, 1 test in sugar and 1 test in windows. From 6 to 8 years.

My hypothesis is that girls will adapt faster to use Sugar than boys.

The result would help improve the potential problems that have graphical interfaces for Sugar.

I would like to complement this with my APP Google Summer Code

The tests were conducted on the use of basic programs such as text editor or webcam.

Using as an activity subject recopilacion games flash project huascaran www.huascaran.gob.pe could be used in the implementation of the programme.

The activity will take the recommendations of the creation of a type. Activity testing template of wiki laptop. And recommendation from Nielsen and Rubin.

The Test usability will be:

  • take a picture.
  • send a picture to friend.
  • record a video.
  • send the video.
  • search a video or picture.
