Aportaciones para la mejora de la usabilidad de las interfaces de los objetos docentes en el m-learnig

Abstract

The increased use of mobile devices in recent years and the revolution that e-learning has supposed in the training field have led to the emergence of m-learning. On the other hand, devices with a little screen have traditionally had some problems related to usability, and mobile devices are not an exception. Therefore, it is important to consider usability on these devices, and even more when learning through them, since a poor usability might lead the users to be constantly distracted with the interface (for example, trying to find a concrete option) and not focused on what really matters: learning. The stated objective of this thesis is to obtain a set of usability guidelines valid for interfaces of webbased learning objects for mobile devices. To achieve this objective, a methodology is proposed, which consists of selecting a set of source guidelines designed for web pages for PC, performing an expert evaluation and carrying out an experimentation, so that some guidelines valid for web-based learning objects for mobile devices are obtained. This methodology has been applied to ISO 9241-151 and a set of guidelines valid for web-based learning objects for mobile devices have been obtained as a result.
