Validação de conformidades de usabilidade em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem baseada em ontologias

Abstract

Some usability problems commonly identified in virtual learning environments are cited in the literature, however we need to think about the validation of pedagogical functions to facilitate the usability and success of the establishment of a virtual learning community on the process of teaching and learning. This paper presents a validation system in conformance usability virtual learning environments based on ontology that aims to automate this process. The ontology developed maps of usability heuristics in Virtual Learning Environments to represent the area. The agent validates the usability heuristics. The questionnaire web page enables the user interaction in the lifting of pedagogical usability. This work establishes, in the form of a computer system, a tool to support usability validation in order to ensure maximum heuristic baseline defined as valid as ideal. The system proposed in this paper do not purport to exclude human intervention in the validation of usability as well as to eliminate the subjectivity of the inspection itself.
