Abstract

Plan and take into account the whole picture of the course before it starts, must be a prerequisite for the instructors. At the Tecnológico de Costa Rica, a problem related to course planning has been identified it is the low detail of the courses planing, associated with the relation between the content and the competences, evaluations and learning objectives, there is not a logical flow on the courses planning. Also the tools used by instructors are not well integrated with their LMS (Learning Management System), which turns the course planning task difficult to track and reinforce. In this context, a web-based application called Instructional Design Tool has been created with the goal to aid instructors in the course planning task, making easier and guided this process by intuitive and usable tool integrated into an LMS, and based on the instructional design theories. To validate our approach, we applied System Usability Scale and eye-tracking tests. The results were interesting, inasmuch they shown the utility of the tool and some improvement points to do.

用户友好的教学设计工具，方便课程规划

在课程开始之前，计划和考虑到课程的全貌，必须是教师的先决条件。在Tecnológico de Costa Rica，一个与课程规划有关的问题已经被确定，它是课程规划的低细节，与内容与能力、评价和学习目标之间的关系有关，课程规划没有一个逻辑流程。此外，教师使用的工具没有很好地与他们的LMS(学习管理系统)集成，这使得课程规划任务难以跟踪和加强。在这种情况下，一个基于网络的应用程序称为教学设计工具已经创建，其目的是帮助教师在课程规划任务，使更容易和指导这一过程通过直观和可用的工具集成到一个LMS，并基于教学设计理论。为了验证我们的方法，我们应用了系统可用性量表和眼动追踪测试。结果很有趣，因为它们显示了该工具的实用性和一些需要改进的地方。
