Software Usability Evaluation

PowerPoint presentations have a wide range of graphic design possibilities

PowerPoint presentations can easily be evaluated by focus groups at any time throughout the design process

A Cognitive Walkthrough is very applicable to PowerPoints

Heuristic Evaluation is a simple and beneficial way of improving the presentation

A Formal Usability Test could help determine if the presentation served its purpose

A Field Study could be implemented with a prototype of simpler information to evaluate effectiveness

(Mastrian & McGonigle, 2009)

Disadvantages of E-Learning

Non-traditional setting may deter older nurses

Lack of face to face contactIndependent

Requires self-motivationMust be open to use of technologyPossibility of computer dysfunction

Summary of E-Learning

Despite minor flaws, as all education programs have, E-Learning makes education

accessible, facilitates professional development, and

ultimately improves patient care through educating nurses and healthcare professionals in

a way that is new, exciting and effective.
