Abstract

A quality attribute specification model for the development of e-learning systems is introduced. Quality issues are measured in terms of usability and communicability for the interface maintenance, defined in relation to the evolution of an apprentice or personalized student, according to learning styles and collaboration issues in the study group. This paper relies on the User Centered Design, and includes the stages of user interface analysis, design and evaluation for collaborative systems. We aim at attaining the best quality for educational processes inherent to the e-learning environment, by means of an early quality evaluation, based on the referred attributes. The model also allows the evolution from an apprentice to a personalized and cooperative apprentice, as a potential user and organizer of the learning processes in e-learning environment.
