Evaluation of APi Interface Design by Applying Cognitive Walkthrough

Abstract

The usability evaluation of APi interface design was conducted through Cognitive Walkthrough method. APi is a mobile application game designed specifically for preschool children of Tabika Kemas Kampung Berawan, Limbang Sarawak in order to learn about fire safety education. The existing fire safety games have few interaction styles issues and interface design tested on preschool children. A key ingredient to promote the preschool children to learn basic skills of fire safety is by providing them an interactive learning as the new learning method. Low-fidelity of APi prototype was designed based on the user requirements of the preschool children focusing on cognitive, psychomotor and behaviour aspects. This Cognitive Walkthrough method applied on APi interface design involved a small group of professional designers and developers. As a result, the high-fidelity of APi prototype interface design was developed for the preschool children.
