Paper Abstract:
|
Distance learning is, nowadays, an important modality of higher education in Brazil. Since it employs a diversity of technological resources, it has presented a substantial development lately. However, a significant number of web-based courses have unwittingly or naively endorsed a transmission model of learning similar to what happens in a traditional, face-to-face classroom, which impoverishes the distance learning experience. Introducing user centered design methods to investigate distance learning experience with the adoption of new technological devices allowed us to explore interaction scenarios and create design recommendations from tests with distance learning students. The purpose of this paper is to briefly describe the first iteration of research and user testing of prototyped interactions in distance learning, conducted by the usability experience design team at C.E.S.A.R (Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems). |
