Generation of a Quality Model for Learning Objects Using the iStar Notation and the ISO/IEC 25010 Standard

Abstract

This study describes the process for the creation of a quality model that evaluates Learning Objects in terms of technology and didactics by using i* notation. In order to achieve the objective, quality models from both aspects were reviewed along with LO concepts and quality characteristics that a LO must accomplish were determined in order to consider the evaluation characteristics. The IQMC method was used to construct the diagram for strategic (SD) i* sections for the final quality model. With the SD model created, it was established the traceability between the generated model criteria and the ISO/IEC 25010 matrix to keep a correlation between the i* notation characteristics and the standard ISO matrix mentioned before. The matrix obtained was enriched with conceptual characteristics and with the attributes that a LO should fulfill. The different metrics in the ISO matrix were established for LO evaluations. As a result, a model through LO evaluation with each one of the selected metrics was generated.
