Description
A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:
Learnability
Findability
- Satisfaction
- Efficiency
- Memorability
- Effectiveness
- Ease of Use
- Error Handling

- For this assignment, you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.
You should evaluate a single variable in the context of the usability evaluation study cycle. Your paper will include the following:
