Session Description
The King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center (the Center) was designed to help the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary in its efforts to promote civic education for the public. The Center recognizes that field trips are an important part of learning that can deepen and enhance classroom study of civics-related matters. Through school tours of the Hawaiʻi State Supreme Court and First Circuit Court, the Center seeks to help the Judiciary fulfill its mission. The Center also provides classroom educational resources for teachers in the state, as well as professional development opportunities for Social Studies educators to promote civic engagement. A primary way that educators are made aware of the Center’s efforts are through its website. The Centers website is also used by local people and tourists to find information on the historic building within which the Center is housed – Aliʻiōlani Hale. This usability study was conducted to improve the ease of use of the Center’s website for educators seeking to engage with the Hawaii State Judiciary. The data generated has helped in crafting a website design that is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
