The research question
Does the design of the textbook or educational material actually help learners find, read and understand the information that matters?
Textbook & Educational Materials Assessment evaluates printed and digital learning materials before or after publication. It measures visual hierarchy, text-image interaction, reading order, ignored elements, distractors, regressions, tables, graphics, diagrams and information density to determine which design choices support or interfere with comprehension.

Technology configuration
Measurement follows the task
The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.
Typical protocol · Education
How this study is executed.
The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.
Define the educational material, target learner profile and design / comprehension question.
Map text, images, tables, diagrams, graphics and other critical areas within each page or version.
Record natural reading and exploration using Eye Tracking Glasses for print or Eye Tracking Bar for digital material.
Analyze visual hierarchy, reading order, regressions, distractors, ignored elements, text-image interaction and page density.
Compare versions when required and identify the elements that support or interfere with comprehension.
