Ying Hu did a PhD dissertation on “MOTIVATION, USABILITY AND THEIR INTERRELATIONSHIPS IN A SELF-PACED ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.” Hu’s Advisory Committee Chair is similar to Ryu’s, i.e. Dr Tonya Smith-Jackson.
Hu had 2 research objectives and 4 research questions. She had one or a few hypotheses for each research question. Phases were clearly described. Research method framework was clearly shown in a diagram.
She use 3 online learning application, i.e. existing, improved motivation, and improved usability. She attached her Usability Checklist/Questionnaire in the Appendix; I could see what usability criteria she had used.
Although her area of research is not much like mine, it is good to her orderly and systematic flow of research.
Ioannis Delikostidis did MSc thesis on “Methods and techniques for field-based usability testing of mobile geo-applications.”
Delikostidis wrote his Research Objectives and Research Questions. RQ were a bit lengthy. Research Stages and the resulting output (i.e. Chapters) were clearly stated in the thesis structure. Research method framework was in diagram.
He included numerous mobile screenshots, photos and schematic diagrams. His Chapter 3 was on Usability Testing Methods and Techniques. He used tables to present info on comparisons.
His conclusion was done by answering his Research Questions.
