    Usability Study of a Pilot Database Interface for Consulting Open Educational Resources in the Context of the ENCORE Project
    (Springer, 2023-07-23) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Chiarello, F.
    Open educational resources (OER) are materials such as textbooks, lessons, and other teaching and learning tools that are freely accessible for use. OER are gaining popularity as a means for educators to give their students access to high-quality, economical educational materials. OER can encourage sharing infor-mation and resources throughout the educational community while also helping lower the cost of education for both students and teachers. In this context, the ENCORE project seeks, among other goals, to assist students and workers in acquiring the skills necessary to deal with economic, ecological, and technolog-ical challenges as well as to address the skills gap between the supply of educa-tional institutions and the demand of employers and assist educators in staying abreast of the constantly changing landscape of skills. One of the first steps to reach the project’s goals is to build a robust database that contains quality OERs linked to green, digital, and entrepreneurial (GDE) skills. A graphical interface has been developed to retrieve and display information about the OERs, and, in turn, to make these resources available for any stakeholder. However, due to the significant quantity of information, it is important to develop an interface that enhances user experience. This work presents a usability study of the ENCORE project’s OER database interface carried out through a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, as well as future interface improvements based on the results.

    Are Textual Recommendations Enough? Guiding Physicians Toward the Design of Machine Learning Pipelines Through a Visual Platform
    (Springer, 2023-09-05) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Pérez-Sánchez, P.; Antúnez-Muiños, P.; Sánchez-Puente, A.; Vicente-Palacios, V.; Dorado-Díaz, P. I.; Sánchez, P. L.
    The prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives is often exaggerated by the media, leading to a positive public perception while overlook-ing potential problems. In the field of medicine, it is crucial to educate future health-care professionals on the advantages and disadvantages of AI and to emphasize the importance of creating fair, ethical, and reproducible models. The KoopaML platform was developed to provide an educational and user-friendly interface for inexperienced users to create AI pipelines. This study analyzes the quantitative and interaction data gathered from a usability test involving physicians from the University Hospital of Salamanca, with the aim of identifying new interaction paradigms to improve the platform’s usability. The results shown that the plat-form is difficult to learn for inexperienced users due to its contents related to AI. Following these results, a set of improvements are proposed for the next version of KoopaML, focusing on reducing the interactions needed to create the pipelines.
