Abstract

For an effective process of distance learning it is necessary to assist teachers during the design of instructional material, helping them designing the material structure, navigation, organization and layout and considering pedagogical aspects that facilitate the student knowledge building. We consider usability as the needed effort to use the software and the material as an interface to students. In this context, if the material is made easier to be understood, teachers are reducing the students' effort and increasing the material usability. The main goal of this work was to evaluate the use of a group of Cognitive Strategies as an aid for structuring and organizing the instructional material content delivered through the interface, aiming to increase the hyper document usability and consequently its quality. It is intended to write and document these principles in a Pattern format.
