Abstract

The KLM Form Analyzer (KLM-FA) application automatically estimates the time that a user needs to fill out a web form. The time estimation mechanism is based on the combination of two established methods on the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain, the Keystroke Level Model (KLM) and the Fitts' Law. Primarily, the KLM-FA aims to support HCI researchers and practitioners during the design and the evaluation of a web form. However, recent studies have revealed the educational potentials of KLM-FA. In order to further facilitate its educational purposes, a new innovative KLM-FA feature was developed. In particular, an animation-based technique entitled 'Watch and Learn' that provides a step-by-step visual explanation for each form filling step was integrated into the tool.
