TASK
• How would you evaluate SAM?
• how/where do you get data from?
• which criteria could you evaluate?
• which methods use to evaluate those criteria?
• iterative? which iterations?

METHODOLOGY.
• design-based research [Obrenović 2011]: give students & teachers a tool and evaluate
• iterative process of design & evaluation
• paper mockups
• usability studies
• surveys on usefulness

ITERATION ONE
• usability and user satisfaction evaluation
• 12 CS students, using a -based time tracker
• 2 evaluation sessions:
• task based interview with think aloud (after 1 week of tracking)
• user satisfaction (SUS & MSDT) (after 1 month)
