چکیده
The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) aspects concerning education, research and development are increasing due to this area importance in the development of interactive systems. The usability evaluation is an important HCI area and should be a concern in HCI ́s courses and subjects. This paper presents the proposition of a strategy supported by two software developed for specific evaluation activities. The software are used to submit the students to real situations that can be found in a real evaluation.
