 Evaluation

 Conducted on the prototype M1

 Pre and post-test questionnaires were given

 Level one usability test was conducted

 Analysis of the collected data

 Challenges

 Technical challenges because the captivate does not support

Arabic language. Therefore, all the passages were embedded as
images. This might affect the clarity of the reading passages.
 Selecting volunteer audience for formative evaluation might be
challenging, as they might just do it for your sake without having
an interest or even concentrating on the items in the
questionnaire, this will affect the quality of data collected.
