Abstract

Growth in information technologies in the area of multimedia, content production and the internet have opened new opportunities to online exhibitions, which could now hit on the exciting medium of world wide web (WWW) to make these exhibitions more reachable to people anywhere on the globe. The WWW is a vibrant place and has emerged as, an educational tool in today’s instructive environment. An online exhibition on ‘Tangkhul Tribe Festivals’ was developed using web design tools following ‘Prototype Development Method’. While developing an online exhibition, one has to keep the basic objectives of the HCI (human-computer interaction) in mind. Top priority should be given to the user interface design and related issues. The main purpose of this paper is to design and develop an online exhibition on ‘Tangkhul Tribe Festivals’ and evaluate the same with its real time users so that gaps or drawbacks could be identified. An evaluation study was carried out using a questionnaire tool with closed-ended and opened-ended questions. The evaluation of this exhibition reveals that majority of the users are very much comfortable with the HTML version of online exhibition.
