Abstract

This chapter presents the experience evaluation process of the virtual learning environment prototype MooBi accessible to deaf people. In the evaluation elaboration, the authors use the “technology as an experience framework” model of McCarthy and Wright because it approaches the sensorial, emotional, compositional, and space-time aspects. They believe that this model can provide elements for intervention in order to improve the students' experience. The authors applied the evaluation to a postgraduate listener student community from two classes to evaluate the use of MooBi as a support platform for studying. In the evaluation result, they found both positive experience attributes and unwanted experience attributes related to usability and instructional design. The authors noticed that the evaluation can be applied to other contexts since it provides a multidisciplinary view.
