Criação de um mobile site para dar suporte ao processo de escolha de orientadores do curso de Sistemas e Mídias Digitais

Abstract

Choosing advisors for the final paper and research projects during graduation is a process in which students seek information about professors who can assist in the research and planning of these academic studies. In this context, the students from Digital Systems and Media (DSM), a multidisciplinary undergraduate course, may have more difficulties obtaining information about the professor's study expertise. Some information about the professors' curricula may be decentralized or outdated, and also because there is a lack of a proper channel for scholarly communication aimed at project guidance. Hence, this technical report reports on the project to create the Ductus mobile site for DSM students, which aims to help students choose professors to guide academic work. The methodology used was User-Centered Design, which encompasses target audience research, interaction design, prototyping, and usability evaluation. Thus, in general, Ductus obtained satisfactory perceived usability and effectiveness. However, it presented a low-efficiency index due to problems in aspects such as interaction cost and elements visibility.
