How we are working together
CSU is evaluating the usability of Gooru Navigator and providing guidelines for developing reliable assessments.
What they do
CUDA’s mission is to evaluate the usability and accessibility of technology products and services to improve users’ performance and satisfaction and reduce the investment risks in the design and adoption of innovations for education, government agencies, and industries.
About CUDA
Established in the Fall of 1996, CUDA is a usability lab testing facility that also serves as a practicum and basic research site for the Human Factors graduate program at CSULB.
CUDA believes that usability and accessibility testing should begin early and continue throughout the product development lifecycle because testing can save both time and money, as an essential part of Quality Control and Continuous Process Improvement.
CUDA’s goals include promoting the development of high-quality, usable, and accessible products, uncover and explain problems found in usability evaluations, and provide recommendations for improving the usability and accessibility of evaluated products.
CUDA’s Mission
- To evaluate the usability and accessibility of technology products and services to improve users’ performance and satisfaction and reduce the investment risks in the design and adoption of innovations for education, government agencies, and industries.
- Support the design, development, and use of instructional and productivity technology products and tools in education, industry, and government.
- Develop empirically based standards and procedures for evaluating usability and accessibility in both software product development and use
- Train others in the “user-centered” approach to interface and instructional design, usability, accessibility teaching methods, and human factors project management.
Project Lead
Education as a human right requires technology that is right for every human.
