Online Usability Testing with Different Generations: Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants in the online usability space
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I will present a case study of eight generational web usability tests. The tests are focused around three web usability standards which are defined by leaders of the online usability world. The results are then compared to two different generations in regards to their experience with information and communication technology (ICT). The two generations are based on definitions outlined by Marc Prensky's and Gordon Hotchkiss' digital natives and digital immigrants. The hypothesis is that through generational web usability testing, results will indicate that current web usability standards follow the usability needs of a generation who has not grown up with ICT.
