Hyper documents with quality for distance learning: cognitive strategies to help teachers in the navigational project and content organization

Published: 05 December 2005 Publication History

Abstract

The main goal of this work was to evaluate the use of a group of Cognitive Strategies as a help in the structure and organization of the instructional material content by the interface, targeting to increase the hyper document usability and so its quality. For an effective process of distance learning it is necessary to assist teachers during the design of instructional material, helping them to design the material structure, navigation, organization and layout and considering pedagogical aspects that facilitate the student knowledge building. Considering usability as the needed effort to use the software, and considering the material as an interface to students, so if the material is made even easier to be understood, teachers are reducing the students' effort and so increasing this material usability. The case studies realized suggested that the Cognitive Strategies proposed enhanced the hyper documents usability.
