Abstract

There is a growing recognition about the importance of the Human-computer interaction teaching, which is being approached in many different ways in undergraduate courses related to IT (Information Technology). Usability is an essential concept that the students need to learn, but due its subjective aspects, the teaching becomes a challenge. Nowadays, the games have been appointed as a powerful educational tool. Therefore, this paper presents the UsabilityGame, a simulation game to help the usability teaching focused on the Usability Engineering Lifecycle, involving requirement analysis, prototyping and heuristic evaluation.
