Facilitating learning resource retrieval for students with disabilities through an ontology-driven and disability-aware Virtual Learning Environment (2015)
Journal Article
Nganji, J. T., & Brayshaw, M. (2015). Facilitating learning resource retrieval for students with disabilities through an ontology-driven and disability-aware Virtual Learning Environment. International Journal of Information Retrieval Research, 5(3), 75-98. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJIRR.2015070105

Existing virtual learning environments VLEs in educational institutions are not designed with the expectation that students with disabilities will use them. Consequently, retrieving relevant information by some students with disabilities is a challen...

Investigating heuristic evaluation as a methodology for evaluating pedagogical software: An analysis employing three case studies (2014)
Journal Article
Nganji, J., Brayshaw, M., Gordon, N., Butterfield, A., & Wen, L. (2014). Investigating heuristic evaluation as a methodology for evaluating pedagogical software: An analysis employing three case studies. Lecture notes in computer science, 8523 LNCS(PART 1), 25-35. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07482-5_3

This paper looks specifically at how to develop light weight methods of evaluating pedagogically motivated software. Whilst we value traditional usability testing methods this paper will look at how Heuristic Evaluation can be used as both a driving...
