Usability & Reflection
Usability refers to the ease with which people can use a tool, whether a website, mobile application, electronic device, or any other product or system. Good usability implies that the product is intuitive and easy to understand and use, allowing users to achieve their goals efficiently and satisfactorily. To attain good usability, it is essential to consider aspects such as straightforward navigation, consistency in design, accessibility for people with disabilities, loading speed, and system responsiveness.
Specifically, this module aims to demonstrate how practical the course design is in introducing typing practice to third-grade students' reading and writing lessons.
