It aims to help non-professionals to evaluate the three (T, U, P) aspects of educational interfaces, applications, and products. TUP evaluation is in many aspects similar to e.g. Ravden&Johnson's method. See http://cs.joensuu.fi/~tup Jeliot 3 is an educational tool that tries to help novice programmers. Download and try Jeliot with example programs (http://cs.joensuu.fi/jeliot). Be sure to spend with the program some time, before continuing to the evaluation. Try out the visualization and navigation within the animation. Create/register a new account in TUP. Evaluate Jeliot 3 within the TUP system: Log into TUP, from APPLICATION menu select Jeliot 3. After the information about Jeliot appears, press 'Review application' button, and give your evaluation a meaningful title. The review is divided into the three sections, first the Technology part will be submitted, then the Usability section and finally, third section concerning the Pedagogy issues will be submitted. You can store your current review and continue later, by pressing the "Next step"/"Previos step" buttons. Use comments when applicable. Make sure you complete your review. If you have conducted a TUP review of Jeliot 3 before, do a new one and compare how your views on usability have changed. In order to complete the exercise, you shall 1) email your inspection results (an http link to your stored review) by midnight before the demos to Minna Kamppuri (firstname.lastname@cs.joensuu.fi), and 2) come to the demonstration and be ready to present and discuss your solutions. !!
