• nêhiyawêtân, a computer assisted language learning (CALL) application for Plains Cree was evaluated. User reactions and behaviours were analysed using heuristic and co-operative evaluation methods. Feedback of heritage learners and other university students on the user interface were compared. This feedback helped to create an updated version of nêhiyawêtân by adding features that allowed for more diverse user strategy to allow the program to assist learners in a university or community setting. The findings serve as a guideline for evaluating and creating CALL programs for other Canadian indigenous languages (CILs).
