NASA-TLX Web App: An Online Tool to Analyse Subjective Workload
This is an incremental tool for researchers and practitioners conducting workload assessments.
The paper presents a web application to assist experimenters in using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) for computing subjective workload, with qualitative feedback from 12 experimenters indicating it is relevant, helpful, and easy to use.
NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a widely used assessment technique to compute subjective workload experienced during a task. It evaluates workload using six dimensions: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, frustration, effort, and performance. This paper presents a web app to assist experimenters in using NASA-TLX to commute subjective workload. The web app enables the experimenter to conduct various experiments simultaneously and offers the participants a concise interface to provide their subjective evaluation. It performs the calculations at the backend and provides the computed results comprehensively. The web app provides a dashboard for the experimenter to visualize and export the summary of results. Qualitative feedback from 12 experimenters indicated that the NASA-TLX web app is relevant, helpful, and easy to use.
