Claims Analysis Meets Structuration Theory: Analysing Qualitative Students’ Interactions with NTU’s edveNTUre
نویسندگان
چکیده
In contrast with quantitative usability evaluations, qualitative evaluations are often criticized for not producing statistically significant findings because of the small sample population used in the studies. Using a case study of a good e-learning system, edveNTUre, at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, this paper demonstrates that even with six subjects, we can obtain rich analyses of user interactions with edveNTUre. Well-established theories such as Interaction Framework, Claims Analysis and Structuration Theory were synthesized to analyse user interactions, adding meaning and “depth” to the observational data collected.
