| Lesson Topic: Know and understand evaluating a solution including the efficiency of the solution, the ease of use of the solution, and the appropriateness of the solution |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe the three key evaluation criteria: efficiency, ease of use, and appropriateness.
- Analyse system performance using efficiency metrics such as response time and resource utilisation.
- Design and conduct a simple usability test to assess learnability, error rate and user satisfaction.
- Apply an evaluation rubric to score a solution and justify the scores for each criterion.
- Recommend improvements based on the evaluation findings.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector or interactive whiteboard
- Slide deck covering evaluation criteria
- Printed evaluation rubric handout
- Worksheets with scenario questions
- Laptops or tablets for group work
- Stopwatch/timer for learnability demo
|
Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “What makes a software solution ‘good’?” Connect responses to previous lessons on system design. Explain that today’s focus is evaluating solutions against three measurable criteria and outline the success criteria – students will be able to assess and score a solution using a rubric.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑Now (5'): Students list examples of efficient, usable, and appropriate systems from daily life.
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Present the three evaluation criteria with real‑world examples and introduce the rubric.
- Guided practice (12'): Work through the sample e‑commerce efficiency metrics on the board, calculating cost per transaction.
- Group activity (15'): Teams conduct a brief usability test on a provided mock interface, recording learnability time and error rate.
- Rubric application (10'): Each group evaluates a given scenario using the rubric and justifies their scores.
- Whole‑class debrief (5'): Discuss common findings and how evaluation informs solution improvement.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the three evaluation dimensions and how the rubric provides a structured judgment. Ask students to write one “next step” they would recommend for the evaluated solution as an exit ticket. Assign homework: find a digital tool they use daily and draft a brief evaluation using the three criteria.
