This evaluation plan includes three different levels of assessment: Verification, Usability and Effectiveness. The evaluation of the 1st and 2nd prototype is mainly formative: technical verification and evaluating the general usability of the system. The evaluation of the final system (including all the functionality) has a more summative character: effectiveness assessment is then the focus of the evaluation.
