Methodology for digital interactive products development for mobile devices, which support learning processes in a university environment

Abstract

This article describes the methodology that was developed and used in the research-creation project "Developing applications for mobile devices to support learning processes". The project was focused on creating interactive products that support the knowledge transfer and the user skills development through fun and ludic. The work took place at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Bogota, Colombia and the team was made up of students, alumni, full-time and part-time professors, and specialized consultants. We studied the project-based learning and the team-based learning methodologies for building our own methods. Five prototypes of applications were developed and we used different themes, scopes and objectives that would allow the team to make maximum use of their previous knowledge and form a broad picture of what it means to developed products for mobile devices in a university context with so many different people profiles.
