Usability guidelines for designing mobile learning portals
Mobility '06: Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Mobile technology, applications & systems

Mobile learning presumes the use of mobile Internet technology to facilitate the learning process. The growth and rapid evolution of the wireless technology have created new opportunities for anytime and anywhere learning paradigm. As a result, numerous ...
User-centered design, activity-centered design, and goal-directed design: a review of three methods for designing web applications
SIGDOC '09: Proceedings of the 27th ACM international conference on Design of communication

When conducting research with users in order to design web applications, the practitioner has a variety of methods from which to choose. This paper examines three such methods'User-Centered Design (UCD), Goal-Directed Design (GDD), and Activity-Centered ...
Evaluating Usability of IFML Models: How Usability is Perceived and Propagated
IHC '18: Proceedings of the 17th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems

System acceptance is strongly related to its usability. It is important that the usability is carefully designed during the system design steps and later propagated to the interface. This care avoids reworking the interface design of an application in ...
