Enhancing usability through visualization techniques for young

Abstract

The idea of combining the effective visualization techniques to enhance usability among young learners is becoming a problem in human computer interface (HCI). Although several visualization techniques have been established for user interfaces development, the integration of these visualization techniques has not been done. The research enhanced usability through identification of the appropriate visualization techniques for young learners and integrated them to develop an appropriate user interface for the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project in Kenya. Both tree visualization techniques and the category visualization techniques were integrated in creating an efficient user interface for young learners. The user interface created was implemented and evaluated through interaction with young learners and the results were positive since optimal information dissemination was observed.
