Abstract

Technological advances are leading to significant changes in the way of planning and organizing activities in educational institutions. Teachers are becoming the key element in the transformation of virtual environments for teaching and learning. Currently, students taking the subject of Algorithms and programming principles in a university located south of Mexico City, Mexico have difficulty understanding the concepts related control structures and programming language C. For this reason, the teacher charge of this matter decided improve Usable Web Interface (IWU) via accessibility giving rise to IWU 2.0 aimed at providing users with diverse audiovisual content in Spanish and English languages, which are appropriate to their characteristics and needs. The design of the IWU 2.0 employs the principles of accessibility called Web Contents Accessibility Guidelines(WCAG 2) related to the use of perceptible, operable, understandable and robust information. This research is based on the quantitative approach through T test with significance level of 0.1 and 0.05 to analyze the behavior of 18 students through the application of two questionnaires related to Control Structures: pretest (unused technology) and posttest where IWU 2.0 is used as a teaching support during the classroom course.
