Avances en el desarrollo de interfaces de usuario de programas docentes: importancia de su diseño para la eficacia y optimización del aprendizaje

Abstract

We report an evaluation and analysis of different user interfaces of IT applications, for teaching purposes, generated by us with a view to developing designs that will allow better optimization of the teaching-learning process through these technological means. In them, we have incorporated different illustrative elements, such as icons, images, etc., that facilitate rapid interaction between the user and the informatics procedure.To evaluate the efficiency and potential of our developments, aimed at training in the field of medicine, we sent out a Likert-based questionnaire to different users to gauge the degree of satisfaction with the informatics procedure.The results obtained reveal the excellent acceptance of our interface designs, both as regards their efficiency in the functioning of the different navigation controls and their distribution, which contributes to a good visual balance of the informatics application.
