Paper Abstract:
|
Virtual learning environments are an upgrade to the form of acquiring and sharing information. The article aims to conduct a brief analysis on the usability of Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) environments. Three MOOC platforms (Sophia, CK-12 and Curriki) were analyzed and discussed using a systematic bibliographic review according to the fundamentals of Information Design, Universal Design and Usability. A structured form was also applied to collect data regarding the usability of MOOC environments analysed. The comparison among platforms made possible to perform an analysis of the symbolization modes and variable types. Matches and discrepancies under visualization and human-computer interaction characteristics were considered and evaluated. |
