Abstract(s)
O desenvolvimento de formas de ensino online levou à criação de novas ferramentas
educacionais que designamos como plataformas de e-learning. Elas permitem ultrapassar as
barreiras temporais e espaciais e são já uma realidade nos vários graus de ensino.
Considerando que a linguagem visual é fundamental para a eficácia do ensino-
-aprendizagem em ambientes virtuais, neste estudo tentámos compreender em que medida a
comunicação visual e o Design têm impacto no aluno que utiliza estas plataformas.
Com essa finalidade propusemos um modelo de plataforma de e-learning onde foram
utilizados princípios de Design ligados aos conteúdos e à interface. O modelo foi testado com
alunos da Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade da Beira Interior, tendo sido
analisadas quatro plataformas diferentes (a) Uma plataforma com a interface personalizada e
com os conteúdos multimédia/interactivos – modelo proposto; b) Uma plataforma com a
interface generalista e com os conteúdos em formato PDF – plataforma baseada no Moodle,
ou seja, o modelo existente na Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde; c) Uma plataforma com a
interface personalizada e com os conteúdos em PDF; d) Uma plataforma com a interface
generalista – tema do Moodle – com os conteúdos multimédia/interactivos) no final os
alunos responderam a um questionário.
Os resultados revelam que a interface e os conteúdos multimédia/interactivos poderão ter
impactos positivos na satisfação e na percepção da compreensão dos alunos, pelo que o sucesso de
uma plataforma de e-learning poderá depender da correcta aplicação dos princípios de Design.
The development of forms of online education led to the creation of new educational tools that we assign of e-learning platforms. They exceed the time and space barriers and are already a reality on different teaching grades. Considering that the visual language is fundamental for the efficacy of learning-teaching in virtual environments, in this study we tried to understand in what ways the visual communication and the Design have an impact on the student who uses these platforms. With that proposition we propose a model of an e-learning platform where the contents and the interface are modelled by principles of Design. The model was tested by students of the College of Ciências da Saúde of the Beira Interior University, there were analysed four different platforms ( a) A platform witch had a personalized interface and multimedia/interactive contents – The proposed model; b) A platform with a general interface and with the contents in PDF format – platform based on the Moodle, that is, the existing model in the College of Ciências da Saúde; c) A platform with a personalized interface and with the contents in PDF format; d) A platform with a general interface – based on the Moodle – with multimedia/interactive contents) in the end the students answered to a questionnaire. The results reveal that the interface and the multimedia/interactive contents may have positive impacts on the satisfaction and the comprehension perception of the students, so the success of e-learning platforms may depend of the correct application of Design principles.
