Interface Rating Form

User interface is concerned with how the instructional content is presented to the learner, how the learner moves through the content, and how the
learner experiences the instructional activities. In general, the user interface should be designed to make things easier for the learner (i.e., it
should be learner-centric). Also, this form onl addresses the interface and its relationship to the learner and content. It does not specificall
address the !ualit of the content, relevance of the interactions or assessments, or the meaningfulness of the media. "hile these criteria below
are appropriate for most interfaces, a simple interface ma not include all of these criteria or ma include onl simplified versions. As an
instructional designer, it is at our discretion to determine the value of each criterion to the learner.
Directions: #valuate the user interface based on each criterion, where $ is lowest or unavailable and % is highest or optimal. Add our comments
in each box ou select. &or instance, if the pro'ect scores a ( on )user interface*, add a comment inside the )(* box. Use the color green so our
comments are easil identified.
