Formative Evaluation and Improvement

The purpose of formative evaluation is to improve the units as learning material before general release. The computer program can gather most of the information about usage, and this information can be used by designers to improve the interaction.

Repetition of previous stages may be necessary at this point. We recommend at least two full cycles of design and improvement.
