Investigación, propuesta y aplicación de una propuesta de evaluación de accesibilidad y usabilidad en aplicaciones móviles.

Abstract

Abstract: The following thesis, entitled: "Research, Proposal, and Application of an Accessibility and Usability Assessment for Mobile Applications" focuses specifically on analyzing and evaluating the accessibility and usability of various mobile applications designed for the educational field, since these educational mobile "apps" have become a powerful tool in the learning process. Therefore, this research seeks to identify the key factors that affect the user experience (UX). To this end, an evaluation methodology is developed that allows for the measurement of compliance with the standards, regulations, and inclusive design guidelines of leading platforms such as Android and iOS that are available on the market. This analysis comprehensively considers the needs of different user profiles thus establishing opportunities for continuous improvement. The results obtained will provide valuable information on key aspects for mobile application developers, contributing to a more accessible educational experience with inclusive practices. Consequently, this comprehensive analysis helps to identify obstacles related to the access and use of these educational applications, while providing specific recommendations to optimize both the design and functionality of these "mobile apps" to improve the learning experience, thereby reducing technological barriers and contributing to equitable access to education for all.
