Overview

Learning Objects (LO) are elements that due to their nature present special difficulties at the evaluation, since they have both the characteristics of a software application and an instructional element; the above is complicated by the inclusion of the disability issue, because there are factors that must be considered in a special way. The present work exposes the creation and application of an instrument to determine the learning objects quality for people with visual impairment integrating a services approach (ILOBlind). The types of visual impairment considered in the research are blindness and visual weakness. This new way of addressing the problem of LOs quality is expected to be more affective, because it considers in a broader way the user's opinion. Another problem is that the LOs evaluation is usually done by an expert in the area, leaving aside the opinion of the user. With the integration of the service theory, we seek to employ user satisfaction to determine the LO quality. This work presents the process of developing the ILOBLind instrument. The results obtained from its application in a Multiple Care Center in Mexico are exposed and the instrument generated is presented in its entirety. The application of the ILOBind instrument reported high rates of use satisfaction, obtaining values of \"Fully satisfied\" among users.
