Evaluation of Mobile Application Prototype in Context of Design Against Human and Computer Interaction

Abstract

Application design is part of a process to produce a prototype or multimedia product by integrating several multimedia elements, including text, graphics, audio, video and animation. In the process, it involves some of the important features of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This study aimed to identify appropriate application designs and evaluate the quality of the prototype which is a tool for teaching special education students. In this study was conducted a summative test of prototypes to see the effectiveness of application design taking into the characteristics of human and computer interaction. Results showed the application excellent in the quality of the application and management. In terms of the pedagogy strategies and integration of multimedia elements showed is good and accepted to proceed as a tool in teaching and learning. In the conclusion, the design of teaching and learning tool should follow that criteria for giving the impact to the students.
