Feedback on a Self-education Module for AutoCAD: Development of a Self-education Module for Civil Engineering

摘要

This paper aims to present the work carried out to improve a self-education module for AutoCAD dedicated to a class of civil engineering students. The whole development and research about an evaluation method is led by students helped by researchers, in accordance with the principles of participatory design and user-centered design. After finding objective evaluation criteria such as utility, usability and acceptability, we translate them into subcriteria and questions applied to the module. Very few students took the survey and that is a major problem to draw conclusions and to get improvement lines for the module. Thus, all along the paper, we emphasize on the setup of the survey and focus is given to measuring the efficiency of the evaluation method itself.
