This is the presentation of the paper entitled “Usability test of WYRED Platform” in the Learning and Collaboration Technologies session at the HCI International 2018 Conference, held in Las Vegas, USA, 15 - 20 July 2018.
WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) is a European H2020 Project that aims to provide a framework for research in which children and young people can express and explore their perspectives and interests in relation to digital society, but also a platform from which they can communicate their perspectives to other stakeholders effectively through innovative engagement processes. It will do this by implementing a generative research cycle involving networking, dialogue, participatory research and interpretation phases centered around and driven by children and young people, out of which a diverse range of outputs, critical perspectives and other insights will emerge to inform policy and decision-making in relation to children and young people’s needs in relation to digital society. The WYRED Platform is already developed, but the target group, young people, should accept it to ensure project aims. This paper presents the usability test done to evolve the Platform.

Designing and Evaluating a Contextual Mobile Application to Support Situated ...HCI Lab
SKERG Seminar on Aug 18, 2015 titled, "Designing and Evaluating a Contextual Mobile Application to Support Situated Learning" by Dr. Abeer Ali Alnuaim, the Vice Chair of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Department at KSU.
Synopsis: This research emerged from seeking to identify ways of getting Human-Computer Interaction Design students into real world environments, similar to those in which they will eventually be designing, thus maximising their ability to identify opportunities for innovation. In helping students learn how to become proficient and innovative designers and developers, it is crucial that their ‘out of the classroom’ experience of the environments in which their designs will be used, augments and extends in-class learning. The aim of this research is to investigate the process of designing a mobile learning application in a blended learning model. This app was designed to support students in a design task and to develop their independent learning and critical thinking skills, as part of their Human-Computer Interaction coursework. It explores the challenges in implementing and deploying such an app in the learning context. A number of evaluations were conducted to assess the design, usability and effectiveness of the app. Promising results show that the app has helped students in developing critical skills for designing technology. However, there were a number of concerns discovered regarding the context of use of a mobile device, including usability of interface elements and acceptability of using the app in a public place.
DISCOVERABILITY A NEW LEARNABILITY PRINCIPLE FOR CHILDREN’S APPLICATION SOFTWAREijcsit
For more than two decades children’s use of multimedia was restricted to watching television and listening
to music. Although some parents complained about children being addicted to listening to music the idea
that children could be addicted to television was a real concern to most parents. Nowadays parents not
only need to be concerned about how much television their kids are watching, but also many other forms of
media that are emerging with the fast development in information and technology such as the internet,
video games, tablets and smart phones. From this the researcher came to realize that children are
increasingly becoming the consumers of application software facilitated by these information systems.
Children spend at least three hours according to research on these media which includes the use of
computers, tablets, smartphones and music. The researcher was concerned that system vendors use the
same learnability principles to make applications for all age groups based on learnability principles that
were designed with adult users in mind. Many interface design principles used for adult products cannot be
applied to products meant for children and further yet children at different ages learn differently. The
research looked at the existing learnability principles by trying to evaluate them and come up with new
principle(s) that can be used to further improve the current principles so that they can be used effectively
by information system designers to improve on the learna

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students.

3. HIPPOCAMPUS Project (I)
Mental health is a key issue facing
adolescents across Europe
One in five children and adolescents in
the EU suffers from developmental,
emotional or behavioural problems
(CAMHEE report, 2009)
HCII 2019
Those not yet exhibiting clear mental health issues related to chronic
stress or anxiety not appear in the statistics
4. HIPPOCAMPUS Project (II)
Chronic stress and other issues affects
their intrinsic motivation to engage in
any activity
HCII 2019
It especially important to provide
children and young people with
approaches to self-management of
stress
5. HIPPOCAMPUS Project (III)
Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing among Young People through Yoga
Call: European Union. Erasmus + KA2 – Cooperation and Innovation for Good
Practices. Strategic Partnerships for Youth
Reference: 2017-2-ES02-KA205-009942 Budget: 192.914€
Dates: 01/10/2017 - 30/11/2019 Coordinator: GRIAL Research Group
HCII 2019

6. HIPPOCAMPUS Project (IV)
It aims to address these issues by
promoting the well-being of young
people through the practice of a range
of techniques derived from yoga
HCII 2019
Yoga is not always accesible to all
young people due to a variety of
financial and other reasons
7. HIPPOCAMPUS Project (V)
O1. A programme to introduce yoga-based
practices in youth contexts such as formal
education contexts or associations
HCII 2019
O2. A mobile app both for iOS and
Android in order to give yoga teachers
in formal education contexts
8. Yuva Yoga app (I)
• https://yuvayoga.org
• The app is part of the pilot experiences carry out in different
schools involved in the project
• It is a tool for supporting the programme and providing
opportunities for participants to continue their practice at home, in
addition to the sessions contained in the programme
HCII 2019
Alfa: March
2018
Beta: July
2018
1.0:
December
2018
1.2: June
2019
9. Yuva Yoga app (II)
• A native development approach
was selected, to ensure a certain
quality and the proper
functioning of the app
• Based on Backend as a service
(BaaS)
• To support all offline content
related to yoga practices, it was
necessary to use local offline
databases in client applications
HCII 2019
11. Yuva Yoga app (IV)
• There are more than 100
activities and 15 sessions
included in the app
• The main elements of the
app are yoga activities that
are postures (asana),
meditations, reflections and
breath (pranayama)
• Available in English, French,
Italian, Norwegian, Spanish
HCII 2019
12. Yuva Yoga app (V)
• The classroom supports the
communication of teachers,
educators or yoga
instructors with young
people.
• A virtual space for each
group of students that they
work with and send them
different kind of sessions
HCII 2019
13. Methodology (I)
• The heuristic evaluation is a usability
engineering method for finding the
usability problems in a user interface
design
• Two phases, one focused on iOS client
and other on Android client
• This study is focused on iOS evaluation
HCII 2019
14. Methodology (II)
Participants
• The heuristic evaluation was carried out by four experts, one
woman and three men between 32 to 55 years old
• None of the experts had used the app previously due it was
available publicly less than one month before carried out the
evaluation
HCII 2019
E1: Web
developer &
Researcher
focused on
technological
ecosystems (10
years)
E2: Java
developer
expert & HCI
teacher (30
years)
E3: Professor
and developer

user interfaces
(20 years)
E4: Professor &

(20 years)
15. Methodology (III)
Instrumentation
The same template was provided to the experts in order to get the reports to perform
the heuristic evaluation
1 indicates that the expert detected a huge amount of serious problems and 10 no
problems (or low number of non-serious problems) were found
HCII 2019
Heuristic rules (Nielsen, 1994) Points (0-10) Comments
Visibility of system status
Match between system and the real world
User control and freedom
Consistency and standards
Error prevention
Recognition rather than recall
Flexibility and efficiency of use
Aesthetic and minimalist design
Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
Help and documentation
16. Methodology (IV)
Study design and data collection
• According to Nielsen the
evaluators decide on their own
how they want to proceed with
evaluating the interface, but in
this process, the researchers
provided a set of guidelines and a
report template
• The responsibility to organize how
to fix the problems fell in the
developer associated with the
project
HCII 2019
17. Heuristic evaluation (I)
Experts detected problems associated with all heuristic rules
HCII 2019
Heuristic rule E1 E2 E3 E4
HR1: Visibility of system status 9 10 6 8
HR2: Match between system and the real world 10 10 9 8
HR3: User control and freedom 10 10 8 8

HR9: Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors 10 10 10 6
HR10: Help and documentation 5 10 10 5
19. Heuristic evaluation (III)
HR4 Consistency and standards
• 16 usability problems were detected,
most of them are inconsistences
related to yoga terms and words used
to talk about the contents
HCII 2019
• E1: “The classroom screens have different design than other parts
of the app “
• E3: “An issue related to the good practices of iOS interaction, the
configuration icon should be always available”
20. Heuristic evaluation (IV)
HR10 Help and documentation
• Few usability problems, but most of
them are serious
• There are no help documentation
available in the app or in an external
website
HCII 2019
• The yoga terms in the app are not explained (program, session…)
• No information about where are the settings
21. Heuristic evaluation (V)
HR1 Visibility of system status
• Several usability problems with different
severity rating according to the time
needed to solve them
• E4: “the user does not have a notion of the
elements of a session. When the cards are
piled, there is no way for the user to
understand how many parts of the session
have been completed and how many are
remaining”
HCII 2019
22. Heuristic evaluation (V)
HR1 Visibility of system status
• E3: “It is not possible to
control the videos player
inside each activity”
• E1: “The visualization of
activity stats in the profile is
useful but if you want to
know exactly which is the
percentage of activities that
you practice is not possible”
HCII 2019
23. Heuristic evaluation (VI)

24. Conclusions
• The app is designed to be used to guide
personal yoga practice with appropriate
sessions and activities
• Yoga teachers can also use the app to
help their students maintain their
practice between sessions
• Several authors affirm that the
perception of evaluators in using heuristic
evaluation method is not consistent with
the users' experience with a system
HCII 2019
25. Conclusions
• The low number of problems have been taken into account to
develop a new minor version of the Yuva Yoga app (1.2)
• It is important to highlight that the heuristic evaluation for iOS has
influenced in the Android client, because the functionality is pretty
similar, although interfaces in iOS and Android have differences
HCII 2019
• It is also required to apply an empirical
method to get information about the use of
the app by the final users (teachers, yoga
instructors, educators and young people)
