Abstract. This paper presents the evaluation of distance continuing education courses in the Federal University of Ceará. To obtain information related to the course, an instrument for data collection was developed based on the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of teaching in the student's perspective. For data analysis, we seek to diagnose the quality of teaching in courses, identifying pedagogical factors that stood out positively or still need to be worked out by the best managers. The results indicate the feasibility of using the instrument developed, highlighting the students' opinion about 8 factors related to online tutors, presential tutors, course material and course participants themselves.Resumo. Este trabalho apresenta resultados de avaliação dos cursos de formação continuada a distância da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Para a obtenção das informações relacionadas ao curso, um instrumento de coleta de dados foi desenvolvido baseado na metodologia de avaliação da efetividade do ensino na perspectiva do estudante. Para a análise de dados, buscamos diagnosticar a qualidade do ensino nos cursos, identificando fatores pedagógicos que se sobressaíram positivamente ou que ainda necessitam ser melhor trabalhados pelos gestores. Os resultados apontam para a viabilidade da utilização do instrumento desenvolvido, destacando a opinião dos cursistas sobre 8 fatores relacionados aos tutores online, tutores presenciais, material do curso e aos próprios cursistas. IntroduçãoAtualmente, a informáticaé considerada um meio revolucionário nas relações humanas, principalmente a partir da popularização da rede mundial de computadores, a Internet. Com o constante aprimoramento da tecnologia, os computadores passaram a ter alta capacidade de processamento de dados, tornando-se equipamentos cada vez mais rápidos, menores e baratos. Diante disso, a incorporação do computador noâmbito educacional, como ferramenta didático-pedagógica, tornou-se inevitável e necessária. Portanto, a Educação não pode ficar a margem desta realidade, devendo apropriar-se dos avanços tecnológicos e incorporá-losà prática educativa [Valente 2002].Através da mediação das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC's) e do acesso cada vez maior da população aos computadores e a Internet, a Educaçãoà II Congresso Brasileiro de Informática na Educação (CBIE 2013) XIX Workshop de Informática na Escola (WIE 2013)
Evaluating the usability of computer applications using traditional laboratory-based tests is costly and time consuming. For modern Web applications, usually developed, tested and deployed in "Internet Time", this approach is simply not feasible. A more effective way to evaluate the usability of Web applications consists in gathering information from the user's interactions and automatically processing this data in order to detect usability problems in the execution of predefined tasks. The reported solutions based on this approach usually fail on providing efficient tools for the definition of tasks, specially in large and dynamic Web applications. In order to tackle this problem, we developed USABILICS, a system targeted for the automatic remote evaluation of usability based on an interface model. The proposed model allows the definition of tasks using a simple and intuitive approach, which can be applied to large and dynamic Web applications. USABILICS analyzes the execution of tasks by calculating the similarity among sequence of events produced by users and those previously captured by evaluators. Based on this analysis, USABILICS provides an usability index, as well as recommendations for solving usability problems detected on the execution of each task.
