  • Abstract
    Most designers feel that educational systems are like any other computer systems, therefore should be treated equally. Due to this, educational systems suffer from great depression because they do not accommodate well for the target students. We have come up with a checklist for evaluation, which considers not only the usability heuristics but also the socio-constructivist issues in learning as well as the cultural issues. The authors have used this method for testing six (6) educational systems and the results are analyzed critically.
