Abstract(in English) In IT training course for the disabled held by local government, since instructors are mainly volunteer and the time limitation exists, it is difficult to investigate the situation of disabilities of participants and to comprehend the difficulty for computer operation. In the courses in Shimane Prefecture it is insufficient to research the information on each participant's situation. Therefore, we have tried to develop several tools for evaluation of the ability to operate computers and check the difficult operation for participants at the beginning of the course. In this report we have carried out the evaluation of pointing and dragging operation abilities which are fundamental operation in the GUI system. In the pointing ability evaluation, subjects are instructed to click the targets that appear randomly in the window, and the mouse velocity, trajectory blurring and the clicking speed are monitored. Dragging ability is evaluated by the game "iraira stick" and both the speed and accuracy of dragging operations are considered. Menu selection simulated tool is also developed and used for evaluation of the mouse operation that is more analogous to real computer operation than simple game like tools.
