Prioritization of Playability Heuristic Evaluation for Educational Computer Games (PHEG) Technique Using Analytic Hierarchy Process

A holistic technique known as Playability Heuristic Evaluation for Educational Computer Game (PHEG) was developed. Heuristic based concept was used throughout the development of PHEG. It includes five heuristics; interface, educational elements, content, playability and multimedia. This study explores the importance of these five heuristics using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. In the study, 15 selected experts from various fields performed AHP. The study found that the most important heuristic focused in evaluating usability of ECG is the interface, 40.8%. The second important heuristic is educational element, 25.44%, followed by content, 14.57%, playability, 11.2% and multimedia, 8%. Based on the result, the usability problems of the ECG will be identified in the future discussions using the same method.
